Eoin Cadogan drives on Douglas

Douglas 2-9 St Nicholas 1-7:  Douglas managed to put a below-par first-half performance behind them to overcome St Nicholas at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday and advance to the fourth round of the Cork SFC.

Eoin Cadogan drives on Douglas

The southsiders brought about a marked improvement in the second period to see off St Nicholas, but the overall display left a lot to be desired. The salient facts are these: Nick’s were 0-6 to 0-1 up after the first quarter but the rest of the opening half brought just two more points, both for Douglas. They continued to dominate the scoring upon the resumption and eight points separated the sides before David Brosnan got an injury-time goal for Nick’s.

Eoin Cadogan was excellent at midfield while Kerryman Genie Griffin scored 1-3 in the second half as the young Douglas side — with eight U21 players seeing game-time — turned things around. Manager Tony Leen wasn’t at all pleased with the first 30 minutes, however.
