Verling supreme as 14-man Cloughduv survive late drama

The battle between the junior hurling champions of the last two years went the way of 14-man Cloughduv in the first round of the Cork IHC at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

The Cork and Munster junior titleholders from 2018 were grateful for the accuracy of free-taker Brian Verling, who finished the hour with an impressive tally of 10 points.
