Battling Ballinora withstand late Kinsale barrage
They were slow out of the blocks, and had to soak up constant pressure in the concluding minutes – where Kinsale were limited to just a single point despite their territorial dominance – but the manner in which they ground out the win will taste sweet for manager Liam O’Reilly.
Michael Murphy landed 1-4 but key to their win was a burst at the beginning of the second-half, where they struck five unanswered points in the space of 10 minutes to turn a one point deficit into a three point lead.
