O’Leary and Dineen inspire Ballinhassig to terrific victory

Ballinhassig stormed into the last four of the Premier IHC on Saturday night after a terrific four-point victory over Ballyhea in Mallow.

Full forward Fintan O’Leary was the man of the hour as he gave a tremendous display with an exhibition of powerful hurling. O’Leary looked to be a real threat right from the first whistle — slotting home a clinical goal on 10 minutes and bagging three more tasty scores while causing no end of problems for an overworked Ballyhea defence.

Darren Dineen at right half forward also played a vital role, rattling over nine points and linking well with O’Leary and Co.
