Mighty Murphy rekindles Ballinora title ambitions
While two goals came late on when the game was gone from Mayfield, Murphy’s first goal was the spark for the Muskerry side to pull away in the first half, opening up a 1-2 to 0-2 lead which would be 1-8 to 0-3 by half-time.
When Michael Murphy added another goal for Ballinora immediately after the restart, it served to deflate any Mayfield hopes of a second-half fightback, and the city side are now eliminated from the championship, awaiting the losers of the Macroom-Kinsale tie in the relegation play-off.
