Youghal again have measure of ’Hill

Youghal saw off the challenge of Watergrasshill for the second year in a row in miserable, wet conditions at Killeagh on Saturday night.

The players struggled to hold their feet, control the slippery ball and found scores extremely difficult to come by throughout.

The ’Hill suffered a cruel blow earlier in the day when first-choice goalkeeper Darragh O’Callaghan was hospitalised with a ruptured appendix. However, his replacement, Aidan Foley, never put a foot wrong, making a number of excellent saves.
