Hickey delivers late for Bishopstown to see off Carrig

A late David Hickey goal capped a fine comeback as Bishopstown beat Carrigtwohill 3-6 to 3-5 in their opening RedFM Senior Hurling League game yesterday.

Trailing 2-3 to 0-1 at half-time, Seánie O’Farrell and Stephen Dineen finding the net for the co champions, Town improved hugely in the second-half. Denis Crowley scored an early goal and Thomas Murray a few points before Killian McCarthy raised a third green flag for Carrig.

That was cancelled out by Eoin McCarthy, however, and with timealmost up the deficit was down to just two points before Hickey’s winner.
