Pa O’Callaghan Ballyhea’s talisman

Ballyhea 1-19 Blackrock 0-11: A great day for Ballyhea yesterday in Fermoy, as the men in black and white enjoyed a comprehensive win over Blackrock in this first round Cork county senior hurling championship game.

Pa O’Callaghan Ballyhea’s talisman

Premier Intermediate champions last season on Leeside, Ballyhea were far more clinical than their city opponents, opening up an eight-point gap at half-time and finishing the game with double the Blackrock score. They hurled with a calm aggression despite giving away height and weight in many of the one-versus-one duels, and will ask searching questions of future opponents in the competition.

The key difference between the two sides yesterday, however, was Pa O’Callaghan for Ballyhea, who was by far the most accomplished performer on show in Fermoy (in either game).
