Ballincollig Credit Union Junior A Hurling Championship

                              Ballincollig   1 - 10     Blarney   0 - 10

A first half goal from Conor Sexton (25th minute) separated the teams at half time, 1-5 to 0-5, and eventually at the finish of a close fought affair at Ballyanley.  Ballincollig survived a late Blarney onslaught to advance and on the run of play just about deserved their win. Ballincollig forced the pace in the early stages but still needed the goal to be in front at the break.  They then went four points clear but Blarney fought back to be level by the three quarter stage, 1-6 to 0-9.  Niall Purcell then pointed a free to put Ballincollig back in front and they finished well with further points from Matt O'Leary, Luke Prendergast and Sexton.                          Ballincollig:  Ronan Cambridge: Brian O'Connor, Aidan Lucey, Mark Prendergast: David Collins, Garett Harrington, Killian Kelleher: Colin O ‘Donovan, Luke Prendergast: Niall Purcell, Matt O'Leary, Niall Ahern: Conor Sexton, Evan O'Donovan, Daniel Barry.
