Newtown and Jamie Coughlan spoil Kanturk’s senior debut party

Newtownshandrum 2-14 Kanturk 0-15: Former Cork senior, Jamie Coughlan, lit up this keenly-contested Cork SHC first round tie at Charleville on Saturday evening, the Newtown full forward’s impressive 2-7 haul proving the difference against newly-promoted Kanturk.

Coughlan was at the heart of everything that was positive in Newtown’s play and gave numerous markers a torrid time in a battling Newtown display on difficult and soft underground conditions.

Coughlan was first to every ball, possessed an exquisite first touch as well as balance and pace in the solo-run which, all combined, led to two brilliantly–executed goals.
