Cork Premier SHC: Douglas 1-21 Bishopstown 0-10

On a night where the result superseded all else, Douglas got what they needed in Páirc Uí Rinn tonight as they easily beat Bishopstown in Group one of the Co-op Superstores Cork Premier SHC. It was far from perfect, the fourteen wides they hit will be of concern, but it didn’t have to be, as the result leaves Bishopstown facing down the barrel of a relegation final. The ominous challenge of Sarsfield’s looms over them for the next fortnight, while Douglas will have to beat Newtownshandrum in their final game if they are to progress to the knockout stages.
