Christians get going early and win easily

CBC Cork 4-17 Coláiste Iosaef 1-13: First-half dominance and second-half consolidation ensured Cork’s Christian Brothers College opened their Dr Harty Cup campaign with a victory at Mallow yesterday.

Christians started like they meant business, an unanswered 2-3 on the board inside eight minutes, and by half-time they were 2-11 to 0-7 in front.

Kilmallock’s Coláiste Iosaef improved in the second period though and suggested they might mount a comeback with a goal and a point on the resumption.
