Magnificent Hodnett inspires O’Donovan Rossa

O’Donovan Rossa 1-13 Avondhu 1-09

In 1992, O’Donovan Rossa won their first and, as yet, only Cork County SFC title, but they are now just two games away from repeating that feat as they produced a strong finish to see off Avondhu at Macroom yesterday.

When Colm O’Neill scored a fine point for Avondhu in the 44th minute of this quarter-final, it put the divisional side 1-9 to 0-9 ahead and in position to repeat their semi-final appearance of last year.
