Image: INPHO Blackrock 3-21 Erins Own 0-21 LAST SEASON THE concession of four goals proved the undoing of Blackrock at the semi-final stage as their Cork hurling ambitions were ended.

It was a game defined by those second-half strikes to the net, but also one illuminated by a pair of terrific point-scoring displays by the Cork senior forwards on opposing sides. This pair held some familiarity with each other. The group stages brought them together in 2020, Blackrock winning by four points, and in 2021, Erins Own winning by two points.

Backed by the wind, Erins Own constructed the early scoreboard advantages, 0-5 to 0-3 in the 7th minute and 0-9 to 0-7 clear after 23 minutes. But Blackrock knocked over five of the last seven points in the first half to edge ahead by one at the break.
