Burns and Sweetnam steer Cork C of I past Bandon
C of I had to do without John Jermyn and Billy Lynch due to international commitments, but Nick Burns and Philip Sweetnam bagged a brace each to render Andrew Scannell’s strike against his old club academic.
Cork Harlequins still lead they way on goal difference after David Eakins and Mark Black grabbed hat-tricks in their 10-1 win over C of I B. Elsewhere, UCC outclassed Catholic Institute 7-1 for their first league victory yesterday. A stunning reverse-stick strike from Roger Gray — who went on to claim a hat-trick — and a copycat effort from Fionn O’Leary were just rewards for a superior College outfit.
