Job done for St. Finbarr’s, three out of three and a Cork Premier SFC quarter-final clash with Newcestown booked. But they blew hot and cold against a plucky Clonakilty side in Coachford yesterday, conceding some late scores which took the gloss off what looked like being a comfortable victory.

Stephen Sherlock again proved the ace in the pack with a handsome 1-7 contribution, but they will curse their luck in a fast-moving opening half in which they could have had three more goals.
