Bishopstown hold off strong comeback by Nemo

Bishopstown 1-14 Nemo Rangers 1-10

It all appeared to be going according to plan for Bishopstown when they led by seven points at the break. But after being reduced to 14 men with 10 minutes to go, they had to defend superbly before emerging deserved winners.

Contrary to expectations, play was again very scrappy with little or no fluency and, as a consequence, there was a complete lack of scores. Ten minutes lapsed before the opening score arrived, a James Murphy point, but after James Masters levelled it a minute later the Town began to take a firm grip.
