Crowley quits Bishopstown for home

FORMER footballer of the year John Crowley has quit Bishopstown and returned to his native Glenflesk in a bid to recapture his form and fitness.

All-Star Crowley, who transferred to the Cork side 12 months ago, struggled to secure a starting place with the Kingdom last season and now hopes that a return to his home club will help him regain his corner forward berth with the county side.

Bishopstown, who were defeated in the County SFC Final by eventual All-Ireland champions Nemo Rangers, face St Finbarrs tomorrow night under lights in Pairc Uí Rinn in their first outing of the 2003 campaign.
