Good start to a dream day for Bandon

Bandon 29 Newcastle West/Estuary 17: Bandon began a dream day for the club with a 29-17 victory over Newcastle West/Estuary in the Munster U16 Plate final at Thomond Park.

Both sides gave their all in a thrilling contest which produced seven tries, four for the West Cork side and three from their west Limerick rivals.

Winger Chrion Obialor raised a loud cheer from the Bandon supporters whenever the ball came the winger’s way and it was little wonder as he demonstrated great pace and delightful angles of running in touching down two of their tries.
