Boost for Pat Ryan as Cork stars shine on club duty
Red FM Hurling League The top of Division 1 of the Red FM Cork Hurling League became quite cluttered as Round Five played out across the long weekend. Pat Ryan used the break in Cork's season to allow his panel members to get some game time and they all impressed on a beautiful weekend for hurling. The city trio of Glen Rovers, Blackrock and Douglas are all tied on six points along with Sarsfields, with St Finbarr's and Carrigtwohill just a point behind. Charleville and Fr O'Neill's, who will clash on Thursday night in Aghavine, are also on five points meaning the winner of that clash will go top with four rounds to play. Douglas briefly topped the league after they defeated Blackrock by 2-24 to 1-23 on Thursday evening. Shane Kingston led the way for Douglas, hitting 0-9, with 0-4 coming from play, as they overturned a three-point half-time deficit to take the points. He was ably assisted by Alan Cadogan and Cian Baldwin who clipped 0-5 each while Conor Kingston and David Kelly hit the Rockies for 1-1. Shane Kingston's Cork team-mate, Robbie Cotter, was in fine form for the men from Church Road as he hit 1-4 in an entertaining encounter. Kevin O'Keeffe was their main man, hitting 0-10 while John O'Sullivan and Fionn Coleman both scored 0-3. Glen Rovers earned their third win of the campaign after they beat Carrigaline by 3-25 to 0-15 on Friday evening.

Micheál Mullins also marked his return from injury with a stellar performance at centre-back. Brian Kelleher led the way for Carrigaline with 0-9 while David Drake and Éanna Desmond both landed a brace of points. Sarsfields ended the weekend on top of the pile as their 5-23 to 1-16 win over Kanturk in Riverstown gave them the scoring difference edge. It was their first game in the newly named Páirc Tadhg Mac Cárthaigh since it was destroyed by floods in October 2023.
