Bride Rovers stand alone at the top of Division 2 of the RedFM Hurling League as they picked up a third straight win on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Rathcormac\/Bartlemy side \u2013 who won Division 3 last year before going on to claim the Co-op SuperStores SAHC \u2013 were 1-19 to 1-7 winners at home to Kanturk, who had been unbeaten since their relegation from Division 1.<\/p>\n
Ronan O\u2019Connell had the second-half goal for the Rovers while Adam Walsh was his usual reliable self from dead balls. <\/p>\n
Also on Thursday, Erin\u2019s Own were 1-19 to 0-10 winners at home to Newcestown, with the goal coming from a Cathal Lenihan free in the second half, at a time when the Caherlag side were 0-14 to 0-9 ahead. They are on four points from two games, with the rescheduled clash against Newtownshandrum taking place on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The other side relegated from the top flight after last year\u2019s league, Carrigaline, suffered their third defeat of the Division 2 campaign after going down 0-21 to 0-18 to Ballincollig in a hard-fought game on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Brian Kelleher was outstanding for the visitors, nailing 0-12, including four from play, and they led 0-6 to 0-3 after a strong start with midfielders Ronan Kelleher and Se\u00e1n Andrews picking off points.<\/p>\n
However, the home side got on top in the second quarter with Fenton Denny and Ross O’Donovan impressive in defence to lead 0-12 to 0-10 at the break.<\/p>\n

Up front, Tadhg O’Connell ended up with 0-5 from play while Adam Willis finished with 0-9, four from play. Se\u00e1n O’Neill put Ballincollig ahead by four points entering injury time but a brilliant David Drake score set up a grandstand finish where a goalbound Kelleher free was stopped to deny Carrrigaline a draw.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Na Piarsaigh had their first win as they overcame Ballymartle by 1-21 to 0-13 while the Newtownshandrum-Valley Rovers game was abandoned due to the treacherous weather conditions.<\/p>\n
Blarney are three from three in Division 3 after recoding a 0-20 to 1-12 win away to Lisgoold. <\/p>\n
Bandon beat Russell Rovers in a Premier JHC dress-rehearsal, with goals from Mike Cahalane, Kevin Hannon and Conor Calnan in a 4-14 to 1-3 triumph.<\/p>\n
In Division 5, Joe Stack\u2019s late goal was the difference as Castlemartyr enjoyed a 1-17 to 0-17 win away to Milford on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
