Town discover their goal touch

Bishopstown 4-11 CIT 1-09

Essentially, their goal-scoring ability proved the difference against a CIT team which hadn’t the scoring power to complement their admirable effort.

Bishopstown, who didn’t have the services of Cork hurling captain Patrick Cronin, started promisingly, with centre-forward Denis Crowley getting the first of two goals as early as the third minute. And, without ever managing to dominate, they made most of the running in the opening quarter, gaining an advantage at midfield through Daniel O’Donovan’s strong play which was supported by the consistency of team captain Alan O’Connor.
