Watergrasshill climb back to shock Cloyne

Watergrasshill 1-16 Cloyne 2-11: “We won with pure heart and determination,” was the verdict of Watergrasshill manager John O’Regan after his side battled back from eight points down to snatch victory at the death over a fancied Cloyne in the Cork Premier IHC on Saturday.

It has been a while since the ‘Hill had cause to celebrate a first-round victory and consequently they have been involved in a fair share of relegation battles in hurling and football.

With many dual players, it is huge relief all round as Glenville have also made it through to round four of the intermediate football championship.
