Apparently Fr O'Neills had two 21 yard frees in the last 10 minutes yesterday when the game was still there to be won and opted to tap both over the bar with a view to improving their score difference and thereby avoiding Imokilly in a quarter final.
Obviously it backfired. And apart from anything else, it seems quite bizarre that with a striker of Dalton's ability that they didn't try to go and win the game.
As a result we now have the little parish up against the east Cork league of nations. Quite farcical situation really when you consider that a few short years ago O'Neills were providing some of yesterday's players to Imokilly when they won 3 in a row counties.
I reckon they will be on the recieving end of a significant defeat. Oh the irony.
Imagine a club busting their bollox to get up senior, progress to the business end of the competition and get knocked out by the pick of 12 or 14 clubs.
And in case they be any doubt, I don't agree with divisions in their current format being allowed compete in our county championship.
Others will disagree with me as is their wont .
