The top of Division 1 of the Red FM Cork Hurling League became even more cluttered over the weekend with just three points separating Sarsfields in first place and Charleville in seventh place with two rounds to play.

Indeed, had Charleville beaten Sars in Riverstown on Sunday morning, they would have topped the pile on nine points along with Douglas. However, Sars made home advantage count as they won on a scoreline of 1-21 to 2-14. Cork U20 star, Barry O'Flynn, made his presence felt for Sars by hitting 0-3 and setting up Ben Nodwell for the home side's major. Colm McCarthy hit 0-6 for Sars while Aaron Myers and Cian Darcy also hit 0-3. Colm Buckley clipped 1-2 for Charleville, Robert Carroll nailed 0-5, Danny O'Flynn and Andrew Cagney scored 0-3 while Garrett Gleeson scored their other goal.
