Walsh gives tigerish Tracton the edge

Tracton 1-18 Bandon 2-13

Having held the half-time advantage, Bandon were pegged back and the sides were level at the threequarter stage and again with five minutes left. It was that close, and that interesting for fans and neutrals in the large crowd.

While Ronan Crowley was Bandon’s scoring hero on day one with a succession of perfectly executed frees, he had to play second fiddle yesterday to the dynamic Ronan Walsh who knocked over 10 points to keep battling Tracton on course for this crucial victory.
