Inniscarra’s second-half power show
Last year, it took just two games, against the same opposition, as they received a bye to the quarter-finals and beat their first-round opponents, Valley Rovers, again. This time, it has been more circuitous, with early defeats to Bandon and Tracton putting them in a tough spot, but the response since then has been impressive.
Wins against Ballincollig and Blarney steeled them, and Saturday’s performance was their most polished to date, once they got to grips with proceedings. Having trailed by 0-5 to 0-2 early on, the free-taking of Dan O’Connell helped them to tie at 0-8 each by half-time, and though Kilworth’s Ned O’Brien opened the second-half scoring for Kilworth, it was the last time they led.
