History was made at Pairc Ui Rinn on Saturday night when Bishopstown recorded their first ever Cork SFC victory over Nemo Rangers.

After extra-time had failed to separate the sides a week ago, Bishopstown won an epic replay on a 4-18 to 3-20 scoreline. Nemo looked to be cruising to victory when Barry O'Driscoll's goal helped them to a 2-13 to 1-9 lead with less than a quarter of an hour remaining, but the 'Town immediately hit back with a similar score from Denis Crowley. Crowley later completed his hat-trick to seal a famous success.

The backdoor now awaits Cork's most successful football club.

In Brinny, Newcestown scored a surprise 2-9 to 0-5 victory over St. Nicholas, while in the big West Cork derby at Clonakilty, O'Donovan Rossa had six points to spare - 3-11 to 1-11 - over Doheny's.

In the intermediate 'premier' championship, county stars Ciaran Sheehan and Daniel Goulding starred for Eire Og in their 1-12 to 1-5 defeat of Cloyne, while newly-promoted Kanturk marked their return to the grade after a 40-year lapse with a 1-7 to 0-7 win over Castletownbere in Ballingeary. Tweet
