Cork U17s edge past Galway
Cork led by 1-7 to 0-9 at half-time with a goal from Colin O’Brien just before the break, the centre-forward scoring 1-10 in all. Galway took over on the resumption to lead by three only for Cork to respond and, though Niall Coen goaled to make it 1-16 each after 56 minutes, three O’Brien frees saw the Rebels home.
They will play Dublin in the final, with manager John Considine pleased to have got the job done. “We were very tentative, maybe there was pressure,” he said. “It’s all a learning experience. We got over the line not playing well.”
