Imokilly’s momentum looks hard to stop

We were impressed with how Blackrock went about their business in the semi-final victory against Na Piarsaigh.

Not since the end of May had we seen them in action and, on that occasion, they had been largely unimpressive when falling over Bandon after extra-time in round two.

Against Na Piarsaigh, they were tenacious, workmanlike and economical in front of goal. It is too often taken for granted but they did the basics very well.
