Harnedy’s handiwork helps UCC advance

UCC 2-20 Imokilly 3-10

The students were forced to work hard for victory only pulling away in the final quarter scoring eight points without reply. Imokilly contributed enormously to an entertaining hour’s hurling. They went from six points down to lead at the break by two. After that they enjoyed a four-point cushion but eventually had to succumb to the greater finishing power of the college.

UCC selector Dr Paddy Crowley said it was a great win against all the odds. “We are delighted. We rarely have a team on a Saturday night because we don’t have access to any players playing on the Sunday. It was a great, sporting and clean game. We love this championship. I think people love to see us play. We play a brand of hurling that is very refreshing to watch. They (players) think good hurling and they play good hurling.”
