Walsh arrives to rescue Kanturk

Kanturk 2-15 Fr O’Neills 1-15

Walsh wasn’t used for 45 minutes due to a hamstring injury sustained on football duty last week, but a desperate situation — Kanturk were trailing by a point — called for desperate measures and his arrival sparked a marvellous recovery and ultimate victory for the Duhallow side who set up a semi-final meeting against Kilworth.

Had Kanturk lost this disappointing tie they would have had only themselves to blame. Despite their outfield dominance they hit 15 wides.
