Midleton stunned by Hamilton’s late show

Hamilton High School, Bandon 2-16 Midleton CBS 0-21

A terrific comeback saw Hamilton HS reach the knockout stages of the Dr Harty Cup for the second successive year as they suckered Midleton CBS at Church Road yesterday.

Having trailed 0-16 to 1-5 early in the second half, the Bandon school doggedly battled back into contention but couldn’t get closer than two points. John Looney’s fifth point looked to have put Midleton — who, like Hamilton, went into this with two wins from two — into the quarter-finals as he made it 0-21 to 1-15 in the 60th minute.
