Midleton swoop late to snatch League silverware
Blackrock, who contributed to a high-quality clash, surged two points clear with three minutes remaining but the Magpies’ perseverance paid off, closing out with goals from Patrick White and their captain Peter Dowling.
“We have a lot of work done since the start of the year and it stood to us,” explained winning manager Jerry Wallace. “Like any club in Cork we were hoping to get to the county final and build on the 2013 success. The two big competitions in Cork are championship and league and it is great to have silverware. We stuck to our guns tonight and we kept hurling to our system. I thought the lads played very intelligent, very smart at the end.”
