Inch Rovers take Co Junior Title
Inch Rovers 1-12 Liscarroll 2-3

Despite amassing a massive 32 wides over the hour, Inch
Rovers got the better of hapless Liscarroll in this absorbing
Cork Co Junior B final at Mourneabbey on Saturday evening.
Since the Inch club from the Killeagh district, was reformed
a few years ago, they have been making steady progress,indeed
they ran subsequent Munster Champions Gabriel Rangers very
close in the Junior A Championship.

Inch started the better and had 2 points on the board through
Mairead Kennedy and Angela Walsh by the 10th minute. Then
Liscarroll in 2 lightning raids, gave themselves hope, when
Dolores 0’Sullivan struck for a goal and then a point hit
on the run, side footing over the bar. Linda Twomey added
a point. Inch fought back for a series of points and a decisive
goal from Karen Walsh just before the break to give them
a 1-8 to 1-2 interval lead.

Liscarrroll started the 2nd half in determined fashion and
a well worked goal when Elaine O’Riordan, passed the ball
inside to Mary T Foley who goaled. This was as good as it
got for them and Inch tagged on the necessary points to
give them a comfortable win. Inch produced a fine overall
performance despite their many misses and in Angela Walsh
they had then outstanding player on view. Liscarroll after
4 final losses will be wondering what they have to do to
win this title. A jubilant Inch Capt Mairead Kennedy received
the cup from Co Chairman Steven Lynch and she paid particular
thanks to their coach Noel O’Connor for his commitment to
the team. John O’Keefe did an excellent job on the whistle.
