Avondhu surprise Skibb, wins too for St Finbarr's and Castlehaven

Cork county championships latest: last year's semi-finalist out.

AVONDHU suffered the heartache of an injury-time first round in the Cork SFC, but they have bounced back commendably, defeating Skibbereen’s O’Donovan Rossa in Sunday’s second round tie at Coachford.

The north Cork division saw off last year’s beaten semi-finalists 1-9 to 1-7, eliminating them in the process. O'Donovan Rossa were left to regret their bad luck in losing top forwards Kevin Davis through injury after just five minutes and Conor McCarthy to a black card 20 minutes later.
