CHAMPIONS SARSFIELDS REACHED a seventh Cork SHC final in eight years as they overcame Erin’s Own in Saturday night’s semi-final replay at Páirc Uí Rinn.
The Glanmire side, winners of the Seán Óg Murphy Cup in 2008, ’10, ’12 and ’14, needed a late Daniel Kearney equaliser in the drawn game but here there was no doubting their superiority.
Cian McCarthy scored 2-7 as they took control from the start, Ronan Murphy netting an early goal after Shay Bowen had saved from McCarthy.
Points from Kieran Murphy got Erin’s Own going and they staged a mini-revival to come to within four points, 1-6 to 0-5, by half-time and while Sars’ Kieran Murphy set up McCarthy for a second goal early in the second half, the gap was back to three after Eoghan Murphy registered for Erin’s Own.
Just before the three-quarter mark, though, Tadhg Óg Murphy got Sars’ third goal to make it 3-7 to 0-10.
While Eoghan Murphy did get a penalty goal for Erin’s own late on, it was cancelled out by Cian McCarthy, setting a up a repeat of last year’s final against Glen Rovers next weekend.
