Crowley leads Bandon’s early blitz

Bandon made a real statement of intent on Saturday night in Ballinaspittle, comfortably beating Carrigaline in the last eight of the Premier IHC before a huge attendance.

While the scoreline might not appear too lopsided, it succeeds in masking the gulf in class between the teams and the West Cork side can look forward to a semi-final with Youghal next Saturday night.

The game was over at half-time and central to that was corner-forward Ronan Crowley who bludgeoned the Carrigaline defence with 3-4 in a devastating scoring exhibition.
