Halbert checks in as Watergrasshill progress

Watergrasshill 3-17 Mallow 2-09

A goal from John Halbert — who works abroad and who only returned home for the game on Saturday morning — was key in giving them a 1-9 to 0-7 half-time lead, with Shane O’Regan also on form from frees.

When an O’Regan point just after half-time was followed by a kicked Eoin Barry goal to put them 2-10 to 0-7 in front, the Hill were not going to be denied.
