Mighty Quins edge Banbridge to advance to cup semi-finals

It’s been a fallow few seasons for Cork Harlequins in national competitions, but they continued to roll back the years in stunning style on Saturday to see off Banbridge 2-1 and progress to the Irish Senior Cup semi-finals.

The 2006 champions again reprised the spirit of that success as their veterans gear up for one last tilt at an Irish crown.

David Eakins played in David Lombard to reverse home the opener against Bann, only for Peter Brown to collect Scott Forbes’ cross and slam home for a half-time stalemate.
