Championship 1st Round - 30/04/09
Best of luck to our Intermediate hurlers for next Sunday's first round clash with Ballymartle at Fermoy. They have prepared well under the watchful eyes of Neil Ronan Senior and his selectors. Only major injury worry is Neil Ronan Junior who hopefully will be fit for game. Throw in is 2.30pm.

Neil to the rescue - 30/03/09
An Amazing end to a pulsating game yesterday as, for the second week in-a-row, Cork stormed back from probable defeat to snatch a dramatic late victory over Munster rivals. In fairness, both sides would have gladly taken a draw in this rousing NHL tie as the clock ticked into the second minute of added time, but Cork substitute Neil Ronan sparked wild scenes of celebration at the final whistle with a superb match-winning point. The Ballyhea man picked up the sliotar in a seemingly innocuous position wide on the left-hand side of the pitch in the 72nd minute, but turning to his right, he hit over a superb point worthy of winning the game.
