MIDLETON CBS made it three wins from three as Doon's Scoil na Trionóide Naofa campaign ended in agony at Kilmallock on Wednesday (1-17 to 1-16).

The east Cork side were already through to the knockout stages, but having grabbed a lead goal via Lisgoold's James O'Leary just before the break to give them a 1-6 to 0-8 interval edge, they powered on in the final quarter to rebuff Doon's third-quarter surge and win by the minimum.
