Local pride at stake as Bandon rivals fight for Munster Cup

THERE will be plenty of tears and celebrations in Bandon tonight, no matter what the outcome of a unique Munster Senior Schoolgirls Cup final at Garryduff this afternoon (2.30pm).

For the first time in the competition’s history, the showpiece pits two schools from the west Cork town — Bandon Grammar and Coláiste na Toirbhirte (Pres Bandon) — against each other.

The latter have been the fairytale story of the competition, reaching their first ever final in only their second year as a Senior A school.
