14-man Tracton dig deep as Brick the foundationfor victory

Cork PIHC: Tracton 1-17 Courcey Rovers 1-11

There was so much to admire about Tracton’s winning display in the Cork Premier Intermediate Hurling championship in Pairc Uí Rinn yesterday, not just the fact that they were a man short for more than 50 minutes, but also the character shown all over the field and the skill level best-exemplified by former Kerry star Shane Brick.

In addition, the win set up an intriguing quarter-final with the Newcestown team which defeated them in the first round.
