Battling qualities delight both managers

Relief was the overriding emotion from both camps following yesterday’s drawn Cork JAFC final.

Tom Doody’s Rockchapel began the decider in stunning fashion, hitting 1-1 inside four minutes.

But the Duhallow side didn’t score for the remainder of the half and trailed at the break to Doody’s dismay. “We had a lot of possession but we couldn’t convert it. Having said that, we weren’t too disappointed coming in at half-time only a point down. We had a bit of momentum at the start of the second-half but we missed a few handy scores, that put us on the back foot a bit.”
