spoils came home. The heavy traffic around Mallow did not deter a town side and Shane Beston
opened the scoring inside the first minute. Knocknagree dominated the next ten minutes firing three
unanswered points. P McGee kicked a point from play but was quickly cancelled out by the
opponent’s white flag to leave the score 0-2 to 0-4 after 15 minutes. Mitchelstown dominated the
next quarter and points from Beston 0-3 S Walsh, J Mullins and J Sheehan left the halftime score 0-8
to 0-4.Knocknagree started the second half with two quick points but points from Beston and McGee
restored town’s four point advantage.The next 15m saw Knocknagree completely dominate and four
unanswered points saw the sides level with three minutes left on the clock.S Walsh restored the lead
but this was quickly cancelled by an opponent’s white flag., with time running out up popped Shane
Beston for his sixth point to see town take the spoils.Team L Hannah,A Donegan,Fionn Herlihy,K
