Bishopstown find new impetus

Bishopstown 1-20 Killeagh 1-11: Bishopstown retained their Cork senior hurling status in style at Riverstown on Saturday. One wondered how they were ever in this relegation decider such was their assertive and forceful play.

Killeagh provided strong resistance but in their second consecutive year trying to avoid the drop to the Premier intermediate grade, Bishopstown eventually wore them down.

County player Patrick Cronin sparkled up front, posting 1-9, Chris O’Donovan lorded it in defence while Thomas Murray fired five wonderful points in what was a confident team display.
