O’Connor rescues Mallow

Mallow 3-9 Bantry Blues 1-14

A magical moment of goal poaching by 17-year-old corner forward Killian O’Connor a minute into injury time gave the North Cork side the unlikeliest of wins.

With both clubs desperately keen to win back their senior status, this game had everything; a penalty to each side — Bantry missed theirs — nine yellow cards six for Mallow, goalmouth incidents aplenty, and that dramatic finale.
