Crosco Cup 1⁄4 Final
Cashel King Cormacs 3-18(27)
Golden/Kilfeacle 0-12(12)
John O’Shea at Leahy Park Cashel
Cashel King Cormacs pulled out all the stops in the final quarter of this entertaining Crosco Cup quarter final game at Leahy Park Cashel on Wednesday evening. Up to the second half water break, this game was in the balance, but Golden/ Kilfeacle were having trouble in penetrating the tight Cashel King Cormacs defence throughout.

Golden got off to a flyer and had three points on the board in the opening two minutes, courtesy of Andy Byrnes, Shane Stapleton and Cian O’Connell. Cashel settled with a point from Adrian Cummins after five minutes to open their account. With the home side on the ascendancy, they pulled back Golden’s lead and were one up by the water break, 0.6 to 0.5. This trend continued and further points from Aaron Moloney, Dan Moloney, Cormac Ryan and Jack McGrath put the four to the good at the half time break, Cashel King Cormacs 0.10, Golden/Kilfeacle 0.6.
After the break, play was even enough, but a Dan Moloney goal on eleven minutes gave Cashel the break that they needed and from then to the final whistle they dominated proceedings. Michael Coleman got in for two good goals in the final quarter to seal a victory that puts them in the semi-final against Cappawhite.
