Kingston does the damage as Douglas earn reward

Douglas 0-11 St Finbarr’s 0-4

For the past three seasons, they have reached the final only to lose each time after a replay, twice against the Barr’s and once to Ballincollig. That this game was not a classic will hardly matter to them.

In any case, the display of corner-forward Shane Kingston — son of Cork hurling selector Kieran and still only U16 — was enough to light up any game. Seven points he kicked, six from play, including all but one of their second-half output.
