Finbarrs' Jack Cahalane breaks from from Carrigtwohill's Sean de Burca during the RedFM hurling league division 1 game at Carrigtwohill A brilliant comeback victory away from home against Carrigtwohill saw St Finbarr’s bounce back in the RedFM Division 1 Hurling League on Saturday The Barrs were boosted by the inclusion of Damien and Jack Cahalane as well as William Buckley’s return from injury Though they trailed at the break – the Barrs reeled off an incredible 10 points unanswered to lead 1-21 to 2-13 after 50 minutes The dominant stretch put them in the driving seat The hosts nailed five points from four different scorers in the next eight minutes with Jack Cahalane’s free the only one for the Togher side in that time Damien Cahalane fired over a long range point Seán Walsh cut the deficit to one with the clock in red who was quiet by his own ridiculous standard fired a brilliant one from a tight angle in the 63rd minute It sealed an important win and a brilliant comeback One that looked so unlikely after their first half performance Yet they trailed by four at the interval and couldn’t have any complaints either They had created chance after chance – often as a result of the Barrs’ undoing Carrigtwohill's Patrick Walsh shoots from St Picture: Eddie O'HareTwice Shane Hurley denied them The first when Seán Walsh forced a turnover Sean’s brother Patrick conjured up a chance Far too many times in the first half the Barrs’ were fortunate not to concede from their own puckouts Their luck finally ran out at the end of the half James Mulcahy’s one-handed pull was enough Shane Devlin’s puckout was superbly claimed by Cork U20 Matthew Barrett The Barrs had done a lot of things right in the first half and their short puckouts were effective – when they weren’t turned over for possession Time and time again they had worked their opponents into a corner they couldn’t escape from Most impressive of all was Seán de Burca’s hook in the 29th minute that denied Jack Cahalane his second goal Cahalane had landed the first green punch in the 14th minute He setup Caolán O’Connor after a brilliant solo run but he was denied by Devlin – until Cahalane pounced on the follow up to knock it home Carrigtwohill's Sean Brennan is tackled by St Picture: Eddie O'HareCarrig had turned it around by the break He flicked the ball over two Barrs’ defenders and finished coolly He followed that up with another monster score more #Cork - Sport articles Keep up-to-date with the top stories in Cork with our daily newsletter straight to your inbox Please click here for our privacy statement.

by Charleville's Zach Biggane during their Senior Hurling League clash at Carrigtwohill A dramatic 65th minute winner from Carrigtwohill centre-back Jay Horgan meant Charleville fell to their first RedFM Division 1 Hurling League defeat of the season in Carrigtwohill on Sunday morning Horgan’s winning point followed a glaring miss from a close range free for Charleville with Alan Dennehy hitting it wide in the 64th minute Carrigtwohill were fortunate that Dennehy’s strike was off target after frees from Andrew Cagney and Dennehy had drawn Charleville level in added time Having led by two heading into injury time the concession of needless frees almost cost Carrig the points – but Horgan’s heroics saved the hosts at the death Carrigtwohill had continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over and managed to draw level at the break having been behind by four seven minutes from the interval Following Dan Casey’s goal for the north Cork outfit in the 23rd minute Sean Walsh pulled up with three including one free while ‘keeper Shane Devlin also got one from a placed ball following James Mulcahy’s point The visitors hit the last two scores of the half through Gareth Gleeson and midfielder Sean Bresnan Charleville's Gareth Gleeson tries to keep the ball as Carrigtwohill's Brendan Twomey closes in Picture: David Keane.Gleeson only picked up the one white flag but won three frees for the visitors as the hosts continued to lack discipline Charleville let this one get away from them especially after bagging two majors in the opening period as Carrig finished the game with 10 wides They were without star forward Jack Doyle for most of the game as he departed after eight minutes with a hamstring injury They did however have the services of Cork U20 Zach Biggane who played an instrumental role in the second major His Cork teammate Matthew Barrett played the first half and got one score for Carrig at wing-back Charleville's Zach Biggane is challenged by Carrigtwohill's Matthew Barrett Picture: David Keane.Two minutes after Doyle’s withdrawal Charleville got their first goal Doyle’s replacement Dan Casey putting Devlin under pressure and forcing Carrig into a turnover right in front of their own goal His pulled pass fell perfectly for O’Riordan O’Riordan added two frees for the hosts while points from Patrick Walsh and Barrett kept Carrig in touch Patrick’s brother Sean added his second of 10 points from a free in the 21st minute before a pinged puckout from Cian Collins found Biggane unmarked outside the 45 evading three Carrig challenges before getting the ball to Casey He was never going to miss the close range chance At that point Charleville were four ahead and they continued to run the show in the middle with defender Jake Madigan impressing at the back but their failure to punish Carrig’s ill-discipline would come back to bite them in the latter period With Carrig ahead by one in the 56th minute another chance went to waste as Oran O’Connell’s strike was well stopped by Devlin though the hosts would still have to turn it around late on more #Hurling articles Joy for Castlemartyr at the final whistle after

Picture: David Keane. Their 2023 season was an example of when things fall the right way for Carrig The following year was very much the opposite despite experiencing fortunes at both ends of the spectrum – they’ve remained Division 1 team in the hurling leagues and will look to do the same again this year While it helps that their opponents are often without their Cork hurlers Carrigtwohill have continued to hold their own in a challenging tier A grade that has allowed this team to develop over the years A grade that has allowed Carrigtwohill to continuously test themselves against the best Carrigaline may be another grade below in the championship but you wouldn’t have known that on Saturday They gave Denis Walsh’s side an immense challenge even if they had to rely on a last gasp goal from James Mulcahy and in fairness to the lads they kept on going,” Walsh said “We were down here a few months ago in the championship and we were in a similar situation it’s the first game of the year for both of us we were four points down with a couple of minutes to go After half time they got six points in a row I think both teams will take a lot from a game like that this early in the year.”  The two clubs that don blue and gold and begin with Carrig are the only two Division 1 outfits not in the top 12 clubs come championship But the intensity of their performances would suggest otherwise “Carrigaline are going to be a serious team again this year Pictured in last season's championship match against Blarney are former Carrigtwohill manager John Griffin and current manager Denis Walsh Picture: Eddie O'Hare“There was a great bit of bite to it both teams now will take a pile from it with that point of view as well,” added Walsh but you can’t replicate the kind of physicality that we saw out there “There are only two teams in Division 1 that are not premier senior – ourselves and Carrigaline I think it’s a great division for us to be in We’ve managed to stay in this league now for the last few years championship is August – we’ve an awful long way to go it’s good to come out now and put in a performance like that.”  in certain aspects it felt like it was a game Carrigtwohill failed to win but some costly wides and failure to convert goal opportunities let the east Cork side down Given that was an issue in the Senior A HC last year it’s something Walsh’s charges will want to rectify it’s not much of a concern for the manager – particularly at such an early stage of the season But at least we’re creating the chances that’s good Judge John King remanded all three on bail to appear at Midleton District Court on September 5.

onto the sliotar ahead of Cloyne's Diarmuid Byrne during the SAHC Relegation Play Off match in Castlemartyr A rampant and dominant first half set the tone for Carrigtwohill’s comfortable win over Cloyne in the Senior A Hurling Championship relegation playoff in Castlemartyr on Saturday but in the second half the game changed completely There were more cards (11) than scores (8) a dramatic conclusion to their seasons to say the least Jack Hallahan was gifted the ball after a defensive error from Carrig but the eventual winners did well to recover A minute after we had the first of many brawls – with both Keith Dennehy and Jamie McCarthy receiving a straight red card each Carrigtwohill's Brendan Twomey pulls away from Cloyne's Michael Cahill Picture: Howard CrowdyThe two teams were reduced to 14 and when Carrig went up the other end looking for a third goal Cian O’Riordan was brought down for a penalty another off the ball incident resulted in Cloyne’s second straight red with Éanna Motherway receiving his marching orders Daniel Murnane – who had starred at half-back sent over his third point from play in the 48th minute but Carrig would be reduced to 13 shortly after when James Mulcahy was handed a second yellow card Cloyne's Jack Hallahan holds onto the sliothar despite the challenge from Carrigtwohill's Padraic Hogan Picture: Howard CrowdyA 12 minute scoreless spell followed before Aaron Walsh Barry and veteran Pat O’Sullivan combined As Murnane sent over the last puck of the game to give Carrig a 3-18 to 0-9 lead it meant that Cloyne had finished the second half with six cards in total – three times their number of scores in that period It’s been a season to forget for Cloyne who went scoreless from the 35th minute until the end and will play Premier Intermediate hurling next season – but for Carrigtwohill The fine margins of Senior A meant Carrig were dealt a relegation playoff rather than a quarter-final but their impressive first half and guile to see it out gives them a platform to build on in 2025 Despite Cloyne leading 0-4 to 0-2 by the ninth minute their competitiveness wouldn’t last as Carrigtwohill hit five in a row while Walsh sent one over from play before adding two frees Carrigtwohill's Aaron Walsh Barry attempts to hold onto the sliotar despite the attention from Cloyne's Conor Cahill Picture: Howard CrowdyMurnane and Liam Gosnell then came to fruition with the latter hitting one and assisting another and by the 21st minute Carrigtwohill were six points in front A free from Ashley Walsh kept Cloyne in the game but Walsh Barry picked out Mulcahy and he set up Seán Walsh for a thunderous close range finish Cloyne needed to hang on until half-time but they couldn’t – as Ashley Walsh’s free was met with two from Carrig Carrigtwohill killed the game off on the eve of half time as O’Riordan Walsh and Brennan combined for the latter’s goal – a simple finish from close range Despite the chaotic nature of the second period with so few scores overall – it was always going to end in a Carrigtwohill win Joint captains Mike Cosgrave and Conor Whyte lift the Jim Ryan Cup for Castlemartyr after they beat Carrigtwohill in In the Michael O’Connor Motor Factors sponsored East Cork Junior A Football Championship final in Rostellan Castlemartyr have marked their centenary year celebrations with the addition of the East Cork Junior A Football Championship title after a captivating win over Carrigtwohill in Rostellan on Saturday A dramatic final and a thrilling finish – it was closely fought all the way through The gap between the teams was never greater than three – until the only goal of the game arrived in the 47th minute who had put in a superb shift at centre-back all throughout He carried it as far as he could and handpassed to Jack McGann at just the right time The oncoming Jamie Stack was there to meet it it looked like Castlemartyr would now pull away But that was their final score of the game Carrigtwohill raised the tempo and improved in transition Mark O’Connor pointed to bring the gap back down to three A minute later Daniel Murnane pointed from a free What held Carrig back was their failure to find another score until Murnane’s next free in the 60th minute and Castlemartyr couldn’t handle the pace their opponents showed Referee Willie Wallis moved it further forward after Castlemartyr’s protests Murnane had a chance to send it to a replay Their first Junior A football title since 1991 Picture: Larry CumminsWhile we very easily could have been headed for a replay if anyone deserved to win it was Castlemartyr and they showed why with their first half performance By the 10th minute the teams were level at 0-2 each but Carrigtwohill pushed ahead as Adam Rooney and Murnane both found the target But Castlemartyr replied with a run of five points from play in five minutes including three outstanding scores from man of the match Mike Kelly That left the eventual winners 0-7 to 0-4 ahead after 23 minutes Carrigtwohill did get the gap down to two at the break and Carrig needed to be more clinical in the second half Liam O’Sullivan set up Seán de Búrca for a point on the restart while scores from Murnane and Cillian Barry got Carrig back in front Two outstanding efforts from McGann – the first a long range free and the latter a tight angled kick put Castlemartyr back in front before they hit for goal and held out to win the game Blarney's Mark Coleman breaks from Carrigtwohill's Justin Oke during the Co-Op Superstores SAHC at Caherlag A stunning display of hurling paved the way for Blarney to blitz Carrigtwohill in the Co Op Superstores Senior A Cork County hurling championship at Caherlag on Saturday This was hurling at its best and if fellow group teams Na Piarsaigh and Courcey Rovers had representations at this game they will be under no illusions of the task they have to overcome this skilful Blarney side Both teams showed intensity from the throw in but it was Blarney who showed the greater accuracy with three consecutive points Shane Barrett (2) and Padraig Power in the opening three minutes Tomas Hogan did spilt the posts a minute later for Carrigtwohill but Blarney showed their class in as early as the fifth minute when a stunning run by Cian Barrett saw him place a perfect pass to Shane Barrett who drilled an unstoppable shot to the net The biggest problem that Carrigtwohill were encountering was their inability to keep possession and after ten minutes this game looked over as a contest when Blarney registered their second goal it was a masterclass move with Padraig Power who caught the ball before he found Cathal McCarthy in space as the final pass was laid into the path of Cian Barrett who made no mistake from close range Blarney's Padraig Power plucks the sliotar out of the air from Carrigtwohill's Adam Rooney Picture: Eddie O'HareBlarney were basically going through the motions as Carrigtwohill’s shooting was awful but they should have chalked up a goal with ten minutes remaining to the interval Sean Walsh got in behind the Blarney defence but his shot was tame and parried to safety Carrigtwohill’s best forward Justin Oke had a similar opportunity in the closing minute but credit to the Blarney keeper Paul Hallissey he parried it out for a 65 In added time when Denis McSweeney split the posts all Blarney forwards had scored as well as both centre field players with one coming centre back Patrick Crowley The sound of the half time whistle brought relief to Carrigtwohill as they looked in deep trouble when trailing 2-12 to 0-9 with Blarney having the wind advantage for the restart Carrigtwohill's Pádraic Hogan clears from Blarney's Cathal McCarthy Picture: Eddie O'HareOn the restart Carrigtwohill looked to increase the pressure and a Sean Walsh point in the opening minute gave them the perfect start Blarney responded with the Barrett brothers Shane and Cian continuing to cause havoc both teams were reduced to 14 when Blarney’s Patrick Crowley and Pat O’Sullivan were shown straight red cards as a mini melee almost erupted following a foul on Shane Barrett they were truly out of their depth and with ten minutes remaining we witnessed a goal of sheer class A beautiful pass to Cian Barrett saw him flick the sliotar and leaving the Carrigtwohill defender for dead he drilled home a classy goal It was fitting Blarney captain Mark Coleman would finish with a long-range point as his team sent out a serious message of intent of their ambition to win this championship Shandrum's Johnny Murphy under pressure from Carrigtwohill's JD Egan and Jack Hogan during the Rebel Óg P2 MHC semi-final at MTU They had drawn level no fewer than 12 times throughout – and it was clear this tie would need a fourth goal to avoid extra time at MTU stadium on Thursday night A huge score from Charlie Finn edged Shandrum in front Despite the score coming at such a critical stage the feeling was that Carrigtwohill were going to get one back – as had happened for the entirety of the Premier 2 Minor Hurling Championship semi-final between the two teams Searching for the winner Carrigtwohill had a goal chance – but Sam Ring lost his hurley He still ended up with three more possessions without a hurley during the sequence – such was the do or die nature of their semi-final Shandrum's Paraic O'Connor drives the ball past Carrigtwohill's Daniel McCarthy during the Rebel Óg P2 MHC semi-final at MTU Shandrum won a free – and then centre-back Jack Hogan produced a moment of magic in the 59th minute A run from deep into his own half where he faced challenge after challenge – Hogan just kept going Twenty metres out from goal and about to run out of room – he handpassed it to Ben Jordan-Reidy Now they were four in front and on their way to the final once again A free from Patrick Walsh was quickly chalked off by another from Christopher Dunne and Carrigtwohill were running out of time but Matthew Barrett was under too much pressure and couldn’t get a clean shot away The resulting 65 did bring the gap down to three – but Shandrum weren’t going to be beaten Shandrum's Turlough O'Neill wins the sliotar from Carrigtwohill's Mark McCarthy during the Rebel Óg P2 MHC semi-final at MTU Picture: Eddie O'HareThey’ve now got a chance to avenge last year’s defeat to Killeagh as they face St Finbarr’s in the decider in Pairc Uí Rinn It’s a heartbreaking defeat for Carrigtwohill – who had matched the Dromina/Newtownshandrum amalgamation every step of the way and produced such a bright start netting the first goal in the fifth minute Tom Walsh and Mark McCarthy combined before Tom’s brother Patrick sent in a long-range delivery right on top of the square and Daniel McCarthy was able to beat PJ Noonan and squeeze it over the line Carrigtwohill's Daniel McCarthy scores a goal past Shandrum's goaleeper PJ Noonan during the Rebel Óg P2 MHC semi-final at MTU Picture: Eddie O'HareThe response from Shandrum was immediate – as Billy O’Gorman ran in before teeing up Dunne Then in the 12th minute Shandrum had their second green flag as Dunne picked the ball up with a skilful flick held off two challenges – and smashed it into the net 1-5 to 2-2 the teams would trade scores six times before finishing the half level – 2-7 to 1-10 The trend continued on the restart – and they traded scores another six times From the moment Shandrum drew level on 12 minutes neither side would lead by more than one until Jordan-Reidy’s goal in the 59th minute Eleven first half wides for the east Cork side would prove costly and with four of those coming in the final three minutes of the opening period – they were left to rue what could have

Picture: Howard Crowdy who will be returning to his home county to take charge of the Kerry hurlers While certainly not the championship campaign anyone in Carrigtwohill would have hoped for beforehand Two games that Carrig should have got something out of we were here for a reason,” Griffin admits “You see Kilworth were in the final last year and were in the relegation playoff as well “We know that with two pucks of a ball we could have been inside in a quarter-final We just had to have total focus on Cloyne the last couple of weeks we watched the video of the Castlelyons game and a couple of other things “That was my big thing probably the last few weeks and probably a little bit disappointed We didn't get a 60 minute performance from ourselves in championship Maybe the last 15 minutes for Courceys is an example and I could see before the match the lads were up for it today,” he says “They're been senior for the last how many years particularly for the younger people in the village and the club as well because they need people to look up to as well “I’m delighted with the results and I’m delighted for the lads because I’d say we’ve nearly 70 sessions plus sessions done this year and if you put in effort an like that you want to just see them perform.”  While Carrigtwohill put in a strong performance for large parts of the game and built up a decent lead their opponents struggled to keep with them and then game became far more physical but the game was nearly over and you see lads going down like [James] Mulcahy got a second yellow there “I'm not a referee and it’s a thankless job but sometimes maybe you need to apply a bit of common sense There were a couple of decisions there at the end that I don’t think warranted straight reds and Cloyne were struggling to get a foothold in the game “I know it was a very low scoring second-half,” Griffin says “We kind of said the first 10 minutes in particular [of the second half] that we just had to kind of get a grip of the game the last 15 or 20 minutes once we did nothing silly and just kept our shape and the scoreboard ticking over Carrigtwohill's Sean Walsh looks to shoot as Bride Rovers' Ronan O'Connell closes in during their Cork Senior A HC clash at Midleton Picture: David Keane.It was an impressive performance for the entire team with the likes of Pat O’Sullivan and Daniel Murnane standing out – but Seán Walsh starred “He hasn't done a lot of training the last few weeks “I kill him at times for some of his shot selection But I hope the surgery goes well and he gets sorted and he's back on the field again for Carrig Avril Geary, Imokilly GAA chairpserson, with team captains and members of the host club Castlemartyr at the East Cork Oil JAHC Final launch.
