Mayfield masters in entertaining derby

Mayfield 2-9 Glanmire 2-5: Mayfield began their Cork County IFC odyssey this season with a four-point first-round victory in a local derby against Glanmire at Watergrasshill on Saturday night.

Both sides exited the championship last year at the quarter-final stage but on this evidence the northsiders have genuine designs on going much deeper into the competition.

Mick Cannon’s side were the more economical unit in an attacking sense, even if Glanmire actually had a higher percentage of possession, particularly in the first-half.
