Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final: Mercy Mounthawk 2-19 Hamilton High School Bandon 0-5

Aside from the exception that was their final group outing against St Pat’s Castleisland, Mercy Mounthawk have had each Corn Uí Mhuirí outing taken care of by the call for half-time. Saturday’s semi-final was no different. For the fourth time this season, their interval lead was comfortably into double-digit territory.
