Bishopstown’s battlers finally crack Nemo

It was a long time coming, but Bishopstown’s first Cork SFC win over Nemo Rangers on Saturday night was surely worth the wait.

However, the manner of it will have been most pleasing as they went toe-to-toe with the county’s most successful side over 160 minutes and managed to come out on top by the slimmest of margins.

When Barry O’Driscoll scored a goal for Nemo in the 46th minute of the game at Páirc Uí Rinn, deftly side-stepping Ken O’Halloran after receiving a nice Paul Kerrigan pass, they led 2-13 to 1-9 and the game appeared to be beyond the ’Town.
