St Michael’s finish in style

Two straight wins has earned St Michael’s a Cork Premier IFC quarter-final meeting with Kinsale or Clyda Rovers.

It is unlikely they expected this margin of victory though. While they were deserving winners, the St Michael’s lead was only 1-4 to 0-3 after 42 minutes. However, in a devastating final 15 minutes, they got the better of Ballinora 2-8 to a single point.

The Mid Cork side will find this result hard to stomach, especially as they appeared to be getting back on track following a good result over Mayfield. And to compound matters, Conor Brosnan and Mark Kelleher were sent off after receiving second yellow cards in the final 10 minutes. But the game was already beginning to slip away at this stage.
