Crokes get the job done early
On an afternoon when both Páirc Uí Chaoimh’s scoreboards malfunctioned in the second-half, it was perhaps fitting the result hid the true nature of their dominance over Castlehaven.
While they put three goals past UCC at the same stage last year, here they etched their superiority into the game from the outset and never let up. Going 0-4 to 0-0 ahead after eight minutes, they were hardly threatened thereafter and that margin turned out to be the closest Castlehaven got to them for the remainder of the game.
