Dynamic Dungourney deliver first title in brilliant style

Dungourney 1-21 Cloughduv 0-11: Dungourney are the Cork junior hurling champions for the first time in their history after a fully-merited 13-point victory at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

A late surge a week previous handed them a second chance and they duly took the opportunity in this replay with open arms. They led for most of the 60 minutes plus, looked comfortable all through, and with midfielder Ryan Denny rifling over 12 magnificent points — making light of the difficult conditions — they thoroughly deserved their win.

“This means everything to this club,” said manager Brian Ronayne. “We have been starved. We learned from the last day, I suppose that was the difference. We made a few changes and it worked. All the players showed up today. We dug deep when we needed to.”
