\n Cobh 2-23\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Carrigtwohill 1-18\u00a0<\/p>\n
Second-half goals from Adam Lynch and Luke Meaney proved sufficient as Cobh shook off the challenge of Carrigtwohill at Ballinacurra in their East Cork Oil Junior A Hurling Championship quarter-final, to eventually win by eight and seal a semi-final with Killeagh.<\/p>\n
They led by the minimum at the break, after three frees from Carrigwohill minor Tom Walsh had got his side back into contention, but Cobh put up a strong performance in the latter half to pull clear.<\/p>\n

Carraig led from the first minute and held a 0-11 to 0-6 advantage at the break, but Fr O\u2019Neill\u2019s cut the deficit to three early in the second period.<\/p>\n
With less than 10 minutes to go Carraig na bhFear were still in front \u2013 their advantage at six \u2013 but Rian O\u2019Brien netted a goal for O\u2019Neill\u2019s and would have given their opponents a nervy finish, only Carraig rattled off 1-3 in the closing minutes to pull clear.<\/p>\n
