That kind of drought isn’t unknown for small rural clubs, and in their corner of north Cork Dromtarriffe have been fighting the good fight for years. Two weeks later they faced off in Macroom, a game which might have swung the series Dromtarriffe’s way. Cork and Clonakilty star Mick Finn had picked up a broken hand and his side needed two late points to level matters, 1-7 apiece. Clonakilty led 1-3 to 0-3 at half-time but Dromtarriffe hung in there until the end, when they managed another late, late equaliser. Nevertheless, the saga was a good omen for Cork football as a whole.
