Saturday 4th February 2012
Venue: Clonakilty
Clonakilty 14 - Bantry Bay 19
This was a vital game for both sets of players. Qualification for the semi-final was at stake. It was a very high quality game, with Bantry going into a well deserved 19 - 7 lead and Clonakilty coming back to nearly snatch victory in the last fifteen minutes. Bantry holding out for the win.
Bantry bay now qualify for the semi final in Cork against Cork Con. (Saturday 18th February 2012 in Cork Con grounds, Templehill,Cork at 12:15pm). Skibbereen play Old Christians in the other semi-final. Could there be a dream west-Cork final?
