Beausang goal puts Midleton into final as Barrs rue misses

With the game in the melting point, Cormac Beausang's goal was crucial for the Magpies

St Finbarr's Jack Cahalane and Eoin Moloney of Midleton

Cork Premier SHC semi-final: Midleton 1-17 St Finbarr’s 0-18 

In the end, the clash of the 2021 and 2022 Co-Op Superstores Cork PSHC champions in Páirc Uí Chaoimh boiled down to goal chances. Last year’s champions, St Finbarr’s, had three gilt-edged opportunities across the hour but failed to raise a green flag. Brian Hayes shot wide in the first half, Eoin Moloney incredibly dispossessed Jack Cahalane when a goal seemed inevitable on the verge of half-time, and Brion Saunderson did brilliantly to deny Conor Cahalane after the break.
