Near full-strength Douglas move up the gears

Cork SFC - Douglas 0-14 Dohenys 1-6: The luxury of being able to pick from a near-full-strength panel allowed Douglas to show their lowly league position isn’t a true reflection of their talents in Brinny on Saturday night.

With just one Rochestown Park Hotel Division 1 FL win, against Naomh Abán in February, the city side sit just one place off the bottom of the table. However, as manager Tom Sheehan explained after this relatively straightforward win, access to players has contributed to that.

Teenager Liam Dineen kicked six points on his senior championship debut while Seán Powter, Alan Cadogan and Conor Kingston impressed too.
