O’Shea puts paid to ‘Haven challenge

Dr Crokes 1-11 Castlehaven 0-08

Dr Crokes had seven points to spare on Castlehaven when the sides met last year. Six separated the pair yesterday, but the entrails of those two games tell very different tales.

Last year’s provincial final proved to be a non-event, one decided after a mere 10 minutes of one-sided combat. There were only 10 minutes left in yesterday’s Munster quarter-final before the debate finally lost its vigour.
