2022 Co-Op Superstores Cork Senior A Hurling Championship Final Courcey Rovers v Fr O’Neills
The Co-Op Superstores Cork Senior A Hurling Championship Final takes place this Sunday 9th October at 4:00pm, in what will no doubt be a great spectacle with a place in the Premier Senior grade for 2023 on offer. Courcey Rovers and Fr O’Neills will be facing off in the final for the second time this season, having played in Round 2 of the Group Stages at the beginning of August where Fr O’Neills got the better of Courcey Rovers by a margin of 7 points.
Fr O’Neills were impressive in their performances in Group B with three wins from three. They met Bride Rovers at the Semi Final stage in what was a tough encounter but a surge of scores without reply in the fourth quarter saw Fr O’Neills home. Fr O’Neills will be hoping it is a case of third time lucky this Sunday, having been beaten finalists in the 2020 and 2021 Finals previously.
Less than 12 months after winning the Co-Op Superstores Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship title, Courcey Rovers have made it to their first final at this level. Big wins over Killeagh and Blarney rewarded Courcey Rovers with a Quarter Final meeting with Ballyhea, with Courceys winning out by the minimum. Four goals from Seán Twomey helped them to an emphatic 5 goal win over Fermoy to see them through to the Final which is an incredible achievement by the club from Ballinspittle and Ballinadee.
Ciarán O’Regan (Ballyhea) will be the referee for the final, having previously refereed county finals at Premier Minor & Premier Intermediate Hurling grades, as well as divisional finals with Avondhu and numerous County Premier u21 Finals. At provincial level he has refereed the Munster Junior B Hurling Championship Final, Junior B Football Championship Final and the All Ireland Junior B Hurling Championship Final and numerous Munster Minor Hurling Championship games.
The Linesmen will be Cormac Dineen (Douglas) & Patrick O’ Mahony (Kilbrittain). The Umpires will be Jamie Lane (Dungourney), Adrian O’ Regan (Ballyhea), Tom Woulfe (Mallow), Damien O’Regan (Mallow).
