Canty a colossus for Bantry

GRAHAM CANTY inspired Bantry to a fine 0-11 to 2-4 win over Nemo Rangers in the County Division Three Football League final at Balineen on Saturday.

Having led at the break by two points, Bantry conceded two goals in the space of three minutes early in the second-half and were further rocked when reduced to 14 after corner back Donnagh O’Sullivan was shown a straight red card on 36 minutes for striking an opponent.

Added to their plight was the stiff breeze they had to play into for the closing half but superbly led by the mercurial figure of Canty in midfield, the West Cork men ground out a fine win with Declan Barron also impressing, scoring six points.
