Donncha leads Duhallow
And Duhallow coach Ned English was pleased. “Heart, organisation and good football brought us through tonight. Those Carbery guys, you just can’t put them away. There were at least 20 exhausted players out there tonight at full-time. We thought we had it, but those guys just don’t go away. We looked for courage and we got it aplenty.”
No question, Carbery are a huge scalp out of the way for the rest of the championship pretenders. Despite being outplayed in the opening half, the west Cork side upped the ante in the second period to force the game into extra-time at 1-6 to 0-9 thanks to a late Mark Sugrue deflected goal.
