This fixture was always going to be a hard-won battle, two newish teams with only 4 years experience between them with only a year in the leagues under their belts. Evenly matched with Bunbrosna having the home advantage and Cork traveling up for the encounter. 

The match started well with a sporting gesture of Bunbrosna allowing Cork to field first to allow an extra 5 minutes for them to have a latecomer join the game. 

After the first inning, it was a tight game 4-3 to Bunbrosna with good batting and fielding on both sides and cork being up to a full-strength fielding team.  

Bunbrosna played a great 2nd innings cleaning out Cork for a duck and scoring 3 themselves to put them in front.

The third saw the reverse with Cork fielding 3 quick outs and scoring 5 putting them ahead by 2. 

The fourth innings saw good score increases for both teams with both batting orders going around with scoring 6 without Bunbrosna getting their first out. Cork took a commanding lead leading 18-12. 

Bunbrosna Batted top of 5th requiring 6 to force Cork back into bat. 3 quickish outs gave Cork their first competitive win of the two years and were well deserved after a long drive. 

Players to Note;

Both Pitchers did well Bunbrosna’s Paul Barden and Corks Cillian Cawley held pitches tight with few walk-ons. 

Great batting from Corks Billy OSullivan, Padraic Kelly, and Lauren Murphy scoring without getting out once.
