Bishopstown’s young guns bid to come of age

THE omens are good for Bishopstown. When Erin’s Own won their first county senior hurling title back in 1992, the ‘town lifted the intermediate title the same year.

Both clubs are in similar situations this weekend and will hope the results will turn out the same.

Following their 1992 triumph — ironically over Cloyne, who are contesting the senior final on Sunday — Bishopstown spent until 2000 in senior ranks without any success and opted to drop down to intermediate grade the following year.
