Bonfires blaze for victorious Bandon

The bonfires were blazing in Bandon on Saturday following the town’s U19 rugby team scooping the All-Ireland title — although the players have been urged to mind the celebrations ahead of another final this weekend.

As many as 400 supporters travelled from West Cork to Naas for the game against Navan, with Bandon emerging victorious by 15 points to three.

As one supporter, Tom Hickey, put it yesterday: “They’re over the two moons, not just the one.”
