Midleton CBS dig deep to reel in Thurles

Midleton CBS 0-25 Thurles CBS 2-13: Defending champions Midleton CBS were given a serious shock by Thurles CBS in round 2 of the Dean Ryan Cup at Fermoy before they eventually sealed their progress in extra-time.

The Tipperary side dominated the first half and led 2-8 to 0-5 at the break with the help of goals from Gearoid Troy and Darren Flood.

The impressive Flood — still U14 — hit 1-9 in all, but Midleton battled back in the second period, mainly through the accuracy of Liam Gosnell and Liam O’Shea.
