Ballincollig off to flying start with commanding win over Douglas

Ballincollig 2-10 Douglas 1-07

Last year’s triumph over Ilen Rovers was their first since 2007, and last night’s clash with Douglas at Páirc Uí Rinn looked close to a 50-50 call, but in the end it was very comfortable.

Six points separated the sides at the end, and then only after Douglas’s Finbarr Desmond got a late goal. Ballincollig never trailed, man of the match Ciarán O’Sullivan putting them in front straight from the throw-in.
