Match Report
Bandon 26  Castleilsand 13.   Bandon played host to Castleilsand on Sunday last in the Junior Munster League and secured a fine victory. The complex at Old Chapel was resplendent in fine sunshine with a stiff breeze blowing from east to west. Castleilsand opened strongly retaining the ball and forcing a penalty which was converted. Bandon replied from the restart outhalf Kevin South slotting a penalty against the wind. The pressure from Bandon continued a maul from a lineout was pulled down the penalty was converted by Kevin South. Castleilsand came storming back retaining possession and securing a penalty despite the angle and distance the penalty was converted.  Bandon allowed the opposition to retain possession and paid the price by conceding a try in the corner from a lineout again converted from a difficult angle. Bandon pressed hard from the restart driving hard at the opposition. A driving maul from a lineout saw Richie Crowley go over for a try and Kevin South again obliged with a difficult conversion against the wind. A pulsating first half ended 13 all.                           Bandon with the breeze at their back played for territory Kevin South at outhalf Sean O’Riordan at full back aided by wings Mark O’Sullivan and Jerry Crowley kept the opposition on the back foot. Two more well taken penalties by Kevin South pushed Bandon into a well deserved lead. Castleilsand were still dangerous and their ability to retain the ball presented difficulty. Bandon conceded kickable penalties but the flawless kicking performance of Castlilsand faded away against the difficult breeze. Bandon rang the changes bringing on Nick Walsh, Jack Robinson, and David Ahern welcome back after injury and Rob Wilmot. The pace of the game increased and Bandon stretched Castleilsand who eventually conceded a try when Captain J.P Lucey scored near the posts converted by Kevin South a 100% kicking performance on the day topping a man of the match performance by the outhalf. This was a fine team performance giving Bandon their third win in a row. Bandon.
