May 2018 Cloyne Fade As Mallow Power To Victory
Cloyne 2-11 Mallow 0-20
Cloyne threatened to cause something of a shock result in Fermoy last
Sunday afternoon
against Mallow in the opening round of the Pre- mier Intermediate hurling championship. However, a much-improved second -half display from Mallow,
who were last year’s defeat- ed finalist, saw them claw back a nine-point lead to win by three at the finish. To those of us that know
Cloyne, it was no surprise that they would battle hard and at half time they were in a strong position leading by 1-7 to 0-4 with Mallow
who shot ten wides, having just one point from play. In contrast Cloyne were much more economical in possession with Ian Cahill and Brian O’Shea taking some neat
bagged a second goal for Cloyne they led by nine points after
with Mallow in deep trou- ble.
To their credit Mallow points, while
18-year-old Michael Ca- hill bagged a fine goal on his debut. While Mallow had the opening score of the sec- ond half from Cormac Murphy, Cloyne respond- ed through Brian O’Shea and when Michael Cahill
never panicked and with Cormac Murphy and Pat- rick Healy driving them on they began to whittle down the lead, point by point, so much so that by the 54th minute Cormac Murphy had Mallow in front. Bri- an O’Shea, who shot some terrific points for Cloyne,
35 minutes
made it level pegging but the last three points went to
Mallow with Killian
O’Connor (2) and Cor- mac Murphy sealing a vic- tory that for long periods looked unlikely. Cloyne who were without Paudie O’sullivan and Dillon Ca- hill in attack, faded badly in the closing quarter, with Mallow who hit 15 wides in total, coming with a late run to secure victory and a place in the third-round draw. For Cloyne it is an
all East Cork clash with Youghal and that should certainly be worth a visit in a winner take all contest. Cloyne: M Cahill 2-0, B O’Shea 0-8, I Cahill 0-2 and K Dennehy 0-1. Mallow: K O’Connor 0- 9, C Murphy 0-6, P Healy 0-3, D Moynihan and K Sheehan 0-1 each. Cloyne: D Óg Cusack,
D Jermyn, E Motherway, B Fleming, E 0’Sullivan, S Beausang, M Lynch, B Miinihane, B O’Shea, C
smith, K Dennehy Capt, C Mullins, M Cahill, I Cahill and B Walsh. Sub used C Motherway for C Mullins. Mallow: A Long, R Sheehan, F O’Neill, J Han- lon, D Sheehan, P Healy, D Moynihan, K Sheehan, K Mills, G Hayes, C Mur- phy, D Relihan, D Hayes, K O’Connor Capt and P Lyons. Referee: Mark Maher (St Finbarr’s)
Jack O’Connor Goal Gets Sarsfields Past Ballyea
Sarsfields 1-19 Ballyea 1-13
Sarsfields, got their 2018 campaign in the Cork Senior Hurling championship off to a winning start in Fermoy last Sunday afternoon, when they just got the better of a gallant Bally- ea side in a good contest. Cork senior Daniel Kearney was in fine form
early on for Sarsfields bagging three points in the opening quarter while Aaron Myres, James Sweeney and Tadgh Óg Murphy
helped Sars-
fields to a 0-6 to 0-2 lead with Pa O’Callaghan and John Morrissey on target for Ballyea. By half time Ballyea who sat
deep at times, trailed by just
three points after a well taken goal by Eugene O’Leary got them back in the game, with Wil- liam Kearney and Aaron Myres getting points to leave Sarsfields in front by 0-9 to 1-3. On the
resumption
Maurice O’sullivan made it a two-point game, but then Sarsfields cut loose with five unanswered points and it looked game over. To their credit Ballyea fought back and
two O’Callaghan points and one from O’Sullivan had them back in
the
hunt. Then a Sarsfields point from Jack O’Con- nor was credited to the Ballyea score and for a time this caused some consternation, especially as the half wore on with Ballyea closing the gap and a John Morrissey point saw them leading by 1-13 to 0-15 with 57 minutes played. Luke Hackett brought the sides level, before Jack O’Con-
nor cut in along the end- line to score what proved to be the vital goal and with Aaron Myres and O’Connor adding insur- ance points, Sarsfields ran out winners by 1-19 to 1-13 although the offi- cial scoreboard had it at 1-18 to 1-14, either way Sarsfields are through to round three while Ballyea meet Ballymartle. Sarsfields: J O’Con-
nor 1-3, A Myres 0-7, D Kearney 0-4, J Sweeney, T Óg Murphy, W Kear-
ney, D Roche and L Hackett 0-1 each. Ballyea: P
and T Murphy for D Ro- che.

laghan 0-6, E O’Leary 1-1, M O’sullivan 0-3 and J Morrissey 0-3. Sarsfields: A Kenne-
dy, W Kearney Capt, C Leahy, C O’Sullivan, E Murphy, G Grey, P Leo- pold, D Roche, D Kear- ney, A Myres, T Óg Mur- phy, J Sweeney, L Healy, G O’Loughlin and J O’Connor. Subs used L Hackett for G O’Lough- lin, D English for G Grey
