With Sarsfields already qualified for the Division 1 Final of the Red FM Cork Hurling League, there was plenty of competition on Sunday morning to see who would join them. Douglas was in pole position before a ball was pucked as a win for them away to Glen Rovers would have put them into the decider. However, a win for the Glen would mean that a win for St Finbarr’s away to Fr O’Neill’s would put the Barrs into the final. In the end, the Glen beat Douglas and the Barrs overturned a half-time deficit to beat O’Neill’s by 4-17 to 2-14 ensuring that they will play in the Division 1 final of the hurling and football league.

Ben Cunningham marked his return to action with 1-1 for the Barrs while Conor Cahalane hit 1-5. Conor McCarthy had 1-4 for the Togher men, Kevin O’Flynn scored 1-1 while Ciaran Doolan clipped 0-2 from wing back. Michael Wall and Conor O’Leary bagged the goals for O’Neill’s, with Billy Dunne hitting 0-3.
