Matthew Whelan goal lifts Coláiste Choilm and ends brave St Fachtna’s fightback
Having led 0-9 to 0-4 at half-time, the Ballincollig outfit found themselves facing a second-half onslaught from their Skibbereen opponents. With Stephen Leonard outstanding in the full-forward line, the turnaround reached its apex when Joseph Hickey put Fachtna’s 1-9 to 0-11 in front, but they wouldn’t score again.
Coláiste Choilm responded as Rob Bourke’s beautifully floated delivery was punched to the net by Matthew Whelan. With the lead restored, further points by Whelan, Eoin Reilly and sub Keith O’Riordan saw them pull clear.
