Kiely hopes for happy return

CORK JAFC FINAL:

While regarded as outsiders, Mitchelstown still had a chance, but were completely blown away. Trailing by 1-14 to 0-1 at half-time, they ended up losing by 1-20 to 0-4.

Perhaps Kanturk’s subsequent progress at intermediate level has softened the blow somewhat, but it was a night to forget for the North Cork champions. Learning the lessons of it will be key ahead of tomorrow’s decider against St Colums (1.30pm).
