St Vincent’s see red as ’Haven stage comeback
Ultimately, Castlehaven had the skill and the will to overcome the obstacles put in their way and deservedly advance to the penultimate stage of the Cork SFC. But they will remember how it took the strongest of resolve to get past the championship rookies.
A fourth-quarter scoring spree, after St Vincent’s were reduced to 13 men following the contested dismissal of substitute Derek O’Connor (for striking), allowed the West Cork side take control of a contest that had, up to then, been strongly disputed by the city side, whose battling qualities saw them shock the holders to establish a remarkable 1-7 to 0-3 lead by the 25th minute.
