Cork club round-up: Statement of intent from Carbery Rangers in 14-point win

The Rosscarbery outfit played against the elements in the first-half and yet still managed to command a 1-6 to 0-2 interval lead. John Hayes pounced for the opening major of the contest and their dominance was highlighted in the fact that Clon failed to score from play in the first half an hour.

It was game over within 20 seconds of the restart as Robbie Kiely tore through the Clonakilty defence and struck a ferocious shot into the top right corner of the Clon goal. Matters went to bad to worse thereafter for Clonakilty as they lost Tom Clancy to a second yellow. This was balanced out by Carbery Rangers Michael Mennis picking up a second yellow. It finished 2-15 to 1-4.
