Late burst sees Sarsfields defeat Feakle to reach Munster hurling final

The Cork champions advance to face Ballygunner.

Sarsfields (Cork) 1-25

Feakle (Clare) 1-17

SARSFIELDS ENDED THEIR own miserable Munster hurling record and Cork’s recent travails in the competition to claim victory at the semi-final stage today over Clare’s Feakle.

Bouncing back from their Cork final loss to divisional team Imokilly, Sarsfields hit the last eight points of the game to pull  clear of Feakle, a blistering run of scoring form that finally settled this contest.

Aaron Myers (1-6) and Cathal McCarthy (0-4) were the scoring stars from play as they settled the issue in this game. Next up is the daunting task of a final against title holders Ballygunner, but this was a result that marked a sign of definite progress for Sarsfields.
