Crowley brace does the trick for Bandon

THE South West JAFC title is back in Bandon for the third time in five years after last evening’s final in Clonakilty.

Two goals from substitute Philip Crowley, the first just seconds after his 20th minute introduction, were vital to the winners cause which was also served well by some splendid Pat Prendergast saves and a man of the match display by Cork minor player Mark Sugrue.

For Clann na nGael it was their second successive final loss and on this occasion they contributed to their defeat with some poor freetaking at crucial times in a contest where the winner’s played the final 15 minutes with just 14 men.
