Glen Rovers move up the gears as 14-man Ballymartle crumble

Glen Rovers 4-20 Ballymartle 1-9: Glen Rovers safely navigated their way into the third round of the Cork SHC at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.

They were impressive winners, but it proved to be all too easy against a Ballymartle side who will rue a series of events in the lead up to half-time.

The dismissal of corner-forward John McCarthy was a turning point; and in the next passage of play Patrick Horgan – who was once again in excellent form (1-10) – broke from his marker and pounced for the Glen’s opening goal.
