Ballymartle find extra surge
The result keeps Ballymartle’s title hopes alive while it consigns the Barrs into a relegation battle with Ballinhassig.
The losers have no one to blame but themselves. Hurling well in most sectors of the field, they held a five point lead at the threequarter stage, but this pacy Ballymartle side put in a storming finish and it took a last minute Ian Lordan point for St Finbarr’s to send the game into extra-time. The added period belonged almost entirely to the Riverstick men, however, and two goals, after great passing movements, booked their place in the fourth round.
