Béal Athan Ghaorthaidh battle back to earn replay

A hard, real honest all-Gaeltacht tussle in Kilmichael on Saturday, no shortage of commitment from either Béal Athan Ghaorthaidh or Naomh Abán.

This was the real template for the game of two halves, but the energy and sublime point scoring by both sides still made this Cork Premier IFC fourth round clash more than a tinge interesting.

Full marks to Béal Athan Ghaorthaidh. After taking an opening half thumping from a rampant Naomh Abán side, they got their act together in the second-half, restoring pride to earn a replay. And they might even feel aggrieved at not having won it, Liam Shorten having what looked like a genuine 53rd minute point ruled out after discussion between referee Conor Lane and his umpires.
