Dohenys deliver precious scores to ensure survival

Dohenys 1-14 St Nick’s 1-08

Championship survival was the prize on offer at Clonakilty yesterday and Dohenys know just how close they came to falling through the trap door and into a relegation scrap.

Successive defeats by Skibbereen and Bishopstown had moved the Dunmanway club into a vulnerable position and when James Bermingham sounded the full-time whistle, there were no over joyous celebrations, just an overwhelming sense of relief to have survived.
