Charleville CBS undone by St Francis College fightback

St Francis College, Rochestown 0-23 Charleville CBS 2-12: St Francis College turned on the power in the second half of this crucial Harty Cup tie at Mourneabbey yesterday to qualify for the knockout stages in the new year. 

Charleville CBS undone by St Francis College fightback

Last season’s defeated finalists trailed by the minimum at the interval following a hugely competitive opening 30 minutes from Charleville CBS, but Rochestown stormed clear after the restart making their superiority count on the scoreboard 15 points to 1-6.

Charleville, enjoying the breeze, went four points to one clear but St Francis College fought back to draw level. Paddy O’Loughlin and Jack Barry were two big performers for the CBS while Brian Turnbull and John O’Sullivan went on to bag seven first half points between them for the Roco side. But, when Barry netted right on the brink of half-time following a move initiated by Tom Hanley, the north Cork outfit led 1-6 to 0-8 at the change of ends.
