Kilbrin Junior hurlers advanced to the Cork County JHC final when they defeated Castlemartyr in a replay on Sunday last in Páirc Uí Rinn before a very large attendance. A lot of people felt that Kilbrin had let the opportunity slip in the drawn game but the team had other ideas and really showed their force when the chips were down. Kilbrin played some very good hurling and even when they were down four points at one stage in the second half they upped their game another level and pegged back the lead bit by bit and ran out winners by the narrowest of margins 0-16 to 0-15 to the delight of their very large support.
