14-man Bishopstown show plenty courage

Bishopstown 1-09 Clyda Rovers 0-11

While they had been reduced to 14 in the 23rd minute of this replay, the city side didn’t look as if the numerical disparity had affected them when Conor Dorman put them 1-8 to 0-5 in front in the 48th minute.

The Cork defender already had 1-1 to his name – he was utilised at centre-forward – and added another to his tally in the 57th minute. That score was the crucial one as it came after Clyda Rovers had scored five unanswered points to draw to within one, despite having lost Paudie Kissane to a black card.
