A rousing second-half performance from a relatively young Blarney team enabled them to get past Ballinhassig in the opening round of the Cork Premier IHC at Ballincollig. They worked their way back from a two-point deficit at the interval to take control and outshoot their opponent 14 points to 1-3. Ballinhassig’s scoring drought their big downfall, their second goal not arriving until the fourth minute of stoppage time.
