Bandon’s stunning comeback the stand out cup shock
The west Cork girls were 3-0 down midway through the second half but stunned the hosts with four goals in nine minutes — a Ciara McCarthy brace plus one each from Rachel Desmond and Katie Desmond — saw them escape with a 4-3 victory.
They were joined in round three by Cork Harlequins, who saw off Corinthian 1-0 thanks to Karen Bateman’s short corner rebound, while Cork C of I won the all-Munster tie with UCC 3-2, twice coming from a goal behind before Dymphna Hill netted a last-minute winner.
