Watch: Sarsfields turn pitch into flood plain to limit damage to Glanmire community

'We won a county, lost a pitch but hopefully saved a part of the Glanmire community.'

A view of Sarsfields Hurling Club's main pitch.

Just a number of days after securing the Cork premier senior crown, Sarsfields Hurling Club have felt the full effects of Storm Babet. 

Sars - who beat Midleton in the decider at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday last - had to spring into action again, this time in an effort to combat the flooding caused by excessive rainfall on Wednesday morning and afternoon.
