Glen Rovers and Na Piarsaigh into Cork hurling semi-finals

The pair had too much for Ballymartle and Newtownshandrum respectively.

NA PIARSAIGH ARE into the semi-finals of the Cork Senior Hurling Championship after after a big win over Newtownshandrum in Páirc Uí Chaoimh this afternoon.

They’ll play Sarsfields on Sunday September 28 after goals from Keith Buckley (2) and Padraig Gould helped them to a 3-15 to 0-14 win.

The three-time winners outscored Newtownshandrum by 3-8 to 0-7 in the second half to record the 10-point win.

In the day’s second quarter-final, Glen Rovers had three points to spare over Ballymartle despite goals from Sean O’Mahony and Johnny Wallace.

Wallace’s maximum actually leveled things up for the Riverstick men with three minutes to play but scores from Pat Horgan and Dean Brosnan gave Rovers a three point win; 0-23 to 2-14.

They’ll now play Douglas in the semi-finals.

    When will this blatant poor refereeing end.

    @Barry Kelleher: never. Ref mistakes are part and parcel of the game. Even VAR won’t eliminate mistakes

    @IrishSportives.ie: Things that are up to interpretation will probably never be fully corrected but both of these decisions would have been overturned.

    Every game for about three months now Man City have gotten decisions in their favour. Bad ones too, going right back to Kompany cleaning out Salah as the last man but getting a yellow… Offsides, penalties. It’s remarkable.

    @David Weston: you get me wrong, man. I’m delighted City have another game in April.

    Just pointing out the reality of this incredible lucky streak they’re on with refs, and keeping in mind the old maxim “it all evens out over a season”.

    There’s some evening out to be had, in that case. And that will be fun.

    Offside winner and the penalty was never a foul. VAR can’t come soon enough.

    Was a great tackle to win the ball for pen. How could they not see change in flight. Var should be in every stadium

    @Colm Connolly: Ridiculous though, they had VAR there last season but they went down a division so the FA won’t have it implemented there.

    It was a valiant effort overshadowed by poor refereeing. Bercant Celina has been electric all season. Come you Jacks.
