Kanturk still going strong after another heart-stopper

Cork Premier IHC: Kanturk 0-21 Kilworth 1-16

For the second time in seven days, Kanturk recorded a heart-stopping two-point victory in the Cork Premier IHC. After squeezing past Tracton a week earlier, they edged battling Kilworth in Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday to book a last four place against Newcestown which is an outstanding achievement given they were an intermediate club last year.

Score for score, tied 12 times, in the end Kanturk needed points from inter-county stars Lorcán McLoughlin and Aidan Walsh to advance. Defending rigorously, they withstood fierce pressure as two evenly balanced teams went all out for the win.
