St Nick’s turn on style to shock Bishopstown

SUPERLATIVE strikes from wing-backs Liam Leahy and David Cunningham and an exhibition of free-taking from wing-forward Robert Brosnan paved the way for St Nicks’ victory over Bishopstown in the third round of the Evening Echo Cork county SFC at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.

In an explosive three-minute spell, midway through the first half, the St Nick’s defenders burst upfield to score two goals of exceptional quality to spur the Blackpool side to a fourth round meeting with Carrigdhoun.

Hitting the ground running and taking maximum advantage of an indisciplined Bishopstown defence, St Nick’s opened up a four-point lead with Brosnan punishing Bishopstown with his marksmanship.
