Munster League Champions Cup – Quarter Final
Clonakilty 2 – 3 St. Michaels
St. Michaels booked their place in the semi-finals of the Munster Champions Cup after a dramatic comeback win away to Clonakilty. On a firm pitch and in blustery conditions, both sides found it hard to settle early, but the tie eventually burst into life after the break.
The hosts edged the first half, and after creating a handful of chances they took the lead right on the stroke of half time when Cian McShane pounced inside the area to fire past Adam Gallagher.
But the Saints came roaring out in the second half. Within two minutes of the restart, Willie Armshaw’s cross was handled in the box and captain Jimmy Carr made no mistake from the penalty spot. That lifted the visitors, and on 58 minutes Daniel O’Dwyer finished smartly from the inside channel to make it 2–1. A minute later it was 3–1, O’Dwyer turning provider to release Armshaw, who drilled home a clinical left-foot strike into the corner.
Clonakilty tried to respond, but Saints continued to threaten on the counter, with both Daniel and substitute Ed O’Dwyer going close. The home side gave themselves late hope when Collins converted a 90th-minute penalty to reduce the deficit to 3–2. That set up a nervy seven minutes of stoppage time, but Saints’ defence held firm to see them through.
A powerful third-quarter spell proved decisive for St. Michaels, who march into the semi-finals after a hard-fought away victory.

Two Mile Borris St Kevins began their Premier campaign in ruthless form with a 6–1 demolition of Clonmel Celtic at Newhill Park.
It all started brightly for Celtic when Kyle Cuddy calmly converted from the penalty spot inside five minutes, giving the visitors hope of an upset. But once Borris found their stride, there was only one team in it.
A towering header from Lorcan O’Toole brought them level, and the hosts never looked back. Danny Treacy’s stunning 25-yard strike put them ahead, before Michael Anthony McCarthy clinically tucked away a third just before the interval.
After the restart, Borris turned the screw. Urban Nolan finished off a slick passing move on 50 minutes, Treacy lashed in his second shortly after, and McCarthy made it six with a cool finish on 65. The home crowd lapped it up as Borris sent a clear message: they mean business this season.

Rosegreen Rangers 1 – 1 Cahir Park B

A convincing 5–0 win and a big statement from Mullinahone in their season opener.
