Breen goal puts Ballydesmond in driving seat

Ballydesmond 1-17 Canovee 0-13

Trailing by 0-4 to 0-2 after 14 minutes, four unanswered points from the Duhallow side, three by Donncha O’Connor and one from Paudie Breen, put them into a lead that would not be relinquished.

The advantage had stretched to four points, 0-9 to 0-5, when Breen profited from a superb run by midfielder Donal Kelly to finish to the net, and from there Canovee were always playing catch-up.
