Erin’s Own spring into action as O’Carroll nets hat-trick

Erin’s Own 4-21 Bride Rovers 2-13: Erin’s Own had little difficulty in seeing off Bride Rovers in the first round of the Cork SHC at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

By far the superior team, once last year’s quarter-finalists (defeated by county champions Imokilly after a replay) got into their stride, there was no stopping them.

Inspired by a hat-trick of goals from Maurice O’Carroll and an incredible strike from Robbie O’Flynn, there was no way a relatively young Rathcormac side could work their way back.
