Éire Óg on cusp of glory

Éire Óg 1-12 Cill na Martra 1-09

That could change soon, however, as the Ovens club are just one step from ascending to premier intermediate status following Saturday’s semi-final win over Cill na Martra at Coachford.

After a slow start, Éire Óg functioned better in attack where, despite inter-county stars Daniel Goulding and Ciarán Sheehan getting on the scoresheet, it was younger forwards Kevin Hallissey and John Dineen who shone.
