Heartbreak for St Michael's as Mallow win Cork Premier Intermediate final

Mallow 1-17 - St Michael’s 1-16: A RETURN to senior football for Mallow after they defeated St Michael’s in the Cork Premier IFC final at the impressive new Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday. 

Despite a late scare, a strong second-half showing helped them claim victory – it was their first title since 2007 and their third overall. It comes a week after the club’s Premier IHC final lost to Kanturk.

After a nip and tuck first-half the teams were deadlocked 0-7 apiece and were tied on four occasions. St Michael’s going 0-5 to 0-3 clear after 10 minutes with midfielder Niall Cashman kicking two fine points for St Michael’s.
