Classy Carbery torment ’Town

CARBERY RANGERS handed out a drubbing to Bishopstown in the first round of the Evening Echo Cork SFC in Bandon last night.

League form suggested a runaway win for Rangers and a point by Cork inter-county player Kevin McMahon in the opening minute seemed to confirm this but Bishopstown, playing against the wind and rain, stuck to their guns and they were only three behind, 0-5 to 0-2, at the end of the first half.

It was a half dominated by the full-backs with Anthony Roche, Sean Hayes and Johnny Murphy for Carbery Rangers snuffing out the challenge posed by the Bishopstown corner forward Jack Ferriter and James Murphy on the half-forward line.
