Fermoy win battle but Carrig survive to tell the tale

Carrig the ones with playoff implications to ponder as results elsewhere scupper Fermoy's brave bid to make cut

Contrasting emotions at the final whistle in Watergrasshill as the victors Fermoy left the field downcast, while the vanquished Carrigtwohill players have a county semi-final to look forward to.

Results elsewhere meant that Fermoy's one-point win was ultimately in vain, Cloyne edging Mallow to leave Fermoy, Carrig and Cloyne on four points. But Cloyne's two-point win was the difference, as they finished on +1 while Fermoy ended up with a SD of -1. It was tough on Fermoy who recorded a superb come-from-behind win in the Saturday sunshine.
