THE 60-SECOND REPORT

MAINMAN

Difficult to choose between top score r Ru aid hríÓ Be ag la ioc hand half-forward Cillian Ó Failbhe. Ó Beaglaioch contributed 0-6, including 0-2 from play, and his smartcross-field kick-pack to Uosis could have seen him assist for a goal had it been finished to the net. However,it was Ó Failbhe’s venomous pace through the spine of the field that impressed most.

KEY MOMENT

While a chain of four points for PS Chorca Dhuibhne during a period that also saw a black card waved at CBScorner-back Padraig White injected hope into PS, ultimatelyFranz Sauerland’s late goal that best represented a fatal blow to CBS.

TALKING POINT

This was an occasion laced with reminders of recent tragedy. The game had originally been scheduled forFebruary 24, but deep concern about the effects of a head injury on Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne’s Russell Cup panellist Aodhán Ó Conchúir saw the fixture delayed. The 14-year old passed away in Cork UniversityHospital the day after the postponement, and his memory was at the forefront of everything on Saturday. The Pobalscoil did not use the no.2 jersey, the numberwornby Aodhán, and a minute’s silence was held ahead of Amhrán na bhFiann as a markofrespect to the late Dingle club man. The silence also served to honour Listry stalwart John Griffin and was impeccably observed by the 870-strong crowd.
