Dwyer points the way as Ballymartle recover to see off battling Bandon

BALLYMARTLE recovered from a potentially disastrous start to overcome Bandon and storm into the third round of the Evening Echo Cork IHC at Ballinspittle yesterday.

Within 90 seconds of the throw-in Ballymartle found themselves trailing by two points after accurate strikes from Darren Crowley and Jason Hickey gave Bandon the desired start.

But “old heads” Rory Dwyer and Ger Cummins brought their vast experience to bear as Ballymartle steadied the ship, with Bandon falling by the wayside disappointingly.
