Grimes who netted 1-8 to 1-1. Coachford keeper Jack O’Connor saved well from Christy English in the dying moments 1-8 to 1-1 at the interval.
The Muskerry side had two wides on the restart with David Buckley pointing. CBS struck for their 2nd goal in the 36th minute when Darragh O’Flynn, Dean Finn and Sean Cunningham worked well for Christy English who punched to the net. The 3rd goal came soon after when Darragh Brennan finished off a three man attack.
In the 44th minute Sean Cunningham was on hand to make it 4-8 to 1-2. Both sides made a number of substitutions in the last quarter. Ciaran O’Sullivan who came on for Coachford had two points with CBS adding eight more points before the final whistle.
