O’Shea the ace as Bishopstown advance
In what was a do or die situation for both clubs, Na Piarsaigh failed lamentably to raise their game, while Bishopstown, with James O’Shea in fine kicking form, set up a third round meeting with St. Nicholas.
O’Shea was the star of the show for Bishopstown, kicking six points after being temporarily substituted earlier on after sustaining an injury. Indeed Na Piarsaigh failed to score after the change of ends. Bishopstown were far more enterprising in their approach play early on and raced into the lead. Following a splendid build up wing forward Alan Coomey pointed them in front and then temporary substitute Denis Crowley fisted home a goal.
