Hayes on fire as mighty Rangers take giant step

Carbery Rangers 2-14 Castlehaven 1-08

For the first time since the autumn of 2011 the mighty Haven have lost a Cork club championship match, in the end bowing out meekly to an inspired Carbery Rangers side who took a giant step towards capturing an elusive first county senior title.

The holders can have no complaints after a second-half capitulation to their West Cork neighbours and, with a huge scalp in their hat and a bounce in their step, Michael ‘Haulie’ O’Sullivan’s men march onto an eagerly anticipated quarter-final clash with next-door nemesis Clonakilty in Enniskeane on Sunday evening.
