LAST YEAR’S FINALISTS Duhallow booked their place in the Cork Premier SFC semi-finals tonight on a day when another quarter-final tie in the county was postponed due to Covid-19.

2010 All-Ireland winner Donncha O’Connor continues to be to the fore for divisional side Duhallow as he shot 0-5 in their victory over Valley Rovers tonight in Páirc Uí Rinn.

They trailed 0-14 to 0-11 in the finale but produced a strong finish to run out victors by 0-16 to 0-15.

Earlier Cork GAA chiefs postponed thequarter-final between Newcestown and St Finbarr’s, which was due to be played this afternoon at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The fixture has provisionally been re-fixed for this Tuesday evening at 7.30pm.

As reported by Kieran McCarthy, sports editor of the Southern Star newspaper, it’s another postponement caused by Covid-19 as players from Newcestown are awaiting test results.

It’s the second quarter-final fixture to be put on hold as a consequence of the pandemic. Today’s meeting of Ballincollig and Nemo Rangers was postponed earlier this week due to a positive case in the Ballincollig club.

Castlehaven have already booked their place in the semi-finals, joined in the last four by Duhallow and they will await the quarter-final victors.
