Bantry’s lethal attack too much for Castlehaven

Despite a few late scares, including the concession of a goal two minutes from time, the better team lifted the Liam Farr Cup after yesterday’s South-West cork U-21 AFC final at Aughaville.

In a contest held up for almost 40 minutes due to a neck injury to the Haven’s Niall O’Leary, who was removed to hospital by ambulance, Bantry’s dominance in midfield and a much more potent attack, where Joe Murphy was most productive, were key factors in their victory where midfielder Rory Deane was the winner’s star turn.

The Cork U-21 player, with his midfield partner Mark Delaney not far behind, was a colossus in a triumph where their dominance prevented the ball from going in to Haven dangerman Brian Hurley.
