THERE WAS A big shock in the Cork Premier senior hurling championship on Sunday as Kanturk overcame Midleton, sending the reigning champions out in the group stages.
An injury-time Brian O’Sullivan free was enough to secure Kanturk’s status in the top-flight on a 2-19 to 3-15 scoreline. Heading into the closing stages, Midleton led by three only for an Alan Walsh goal to level up the tie. The crucial final score came five minutes into injury time.
On a busy weekend, the knockout stage has been set following the results from this Sunday’s matches. Sarsfields also bowed out after a 4-19 to 0-19 loss to St Finbarr’s in Páirc Uí Rinn. Ethan Twomey, Jack Cahalane, Brian Hayes and Eoghan Finn all raised a green flag.
