Cork SAFC: Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh 0-15 Clyda Rovers 1-11 

Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh held on for dear life to edge past Clyda Rovers in the Bon Secours Cork SAFC first round in Coachford on Saturday evening. There was very little between the sides throughout. However, Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh, with captain Ben Seartan a superb leader at the edge of the square kicking eight points, secured the win despite Clyda camping in their half in the closing minutes trying to find the levelling score.
