Town Prove Too Hot To Handle

Mitchelstown 2-16   Glanmire 0-10 

Mitchelstown intermediate footballers made it two wins from two and guaranteed themselves a place in the last eight of the Cork County intermediate football championship when they overcame Glanmire at an excellent Lisgoold venue on Sat evening last. 

Played in sweltering conditions Mitchelstown opened the scoring with two points in the fourth and fifth minutes from the boot of Shane Beston. Glanmire answered with two similar scores. It took Mitchelstown 10 minutes to register their next score with white flags from S Walsh and a C O Mahony free. A Glanmire point a J Sheehan point followed by a second C O Mahony free left the half time score 0-6 to 0-3. Glanmire were first to open the scoring in the second half with a point but in a five minute spell Mitchelstown with points from J O Sullivan,D Dineen and S Walsh followed by an opportunist goal from C O Mahony left the score 1-09 to 0-4. From the 6th to the 10th minute Glanmire completely dominate and had four points without reply. Points from S Beston,C O Mahony and J Sheehan with a solitary reply from Glanmire left the three quarter way score 1-13 to 0-09. Mitchelstown completely dominate the last quarter registering 1-03 to finish out convincing winners.
