Birr pile on pressure and points in second
half
Birr 0-17 Dunloy 0-9 : HAILSTONES DURING the
warm-up, a pitch with all the consistency of hot sticky toffee

encountered all there is to experience in an ongoing love affair
with the All-Ireland club hurling championship and, after an
opening half that was perhaps a little too close for their comfort,
the Offalymen booked a date with destiny next month with a
comprehensive eight-point win over Dunloy Cuchullain at St
Tiernach's Park, Clones yesterday. Login or subscribe for more.
