Corn Uí Mhuirí round-up: Mercy Mounthawk edge past Ballincollig

After 10 minutes, Coláiste Choilm led by 2-2 to 0-1 after goals by Eoin Reilly and Eoin O’Shea, but six points by Ferdia O’Brien and Bobby O’Regan (1-1) helped Mercy Mounthawk 1-9 to 2-4 to the good by half-time.

Gearoid Savage and O’Brien had points early in the second half and when Louis Ryle found the net for Mercy Mounthawk they were 2-12 to 2-5 clear. While Coláiste Choilm did eat into that margin, Darragh Devine’s late point made it 2-16 to 2-10, meaning that Matthew Whelan’s late goal for the Cork school was only a consolation.
