Majestic Cronin fires Bishopstown to first final

Bishopstown 1-13 Ballymartle 0-12

While county star Cronin’s contribution of 11 points was immense, his leadership was inspirational as he roamed up and down the pitch to win possession both from the air and on the ground.

If there had been a Man of the Match award it would have rightly gone to Cronin, but not far behind him was 19-years-old Diarmuid Lester, who belied his years — he was a county minor in 2009 and ’10 — and gave a magnificent display at corner-back.
