Imokilly’s better balance tipped the scales in their favour

Mistakes by goalkeepers which lead to scores are always magnified, particularly those that involve short puckouts. It was a defensive mistake by Glen Rovers that handed the East Cork side the golden opportunity to goal for the second time just before the break. Glen ‘keeper Cathal Hickey attempted to strike a short puck out to Robert Downey on the 20m line but his strike to Downey’s side was too hard to control. Imokilly’s Paudie O’Sullivan snatched up the loose ball,transferred to Seamie Harnedy and he rattled the net.
