Bandon 0 : Harlequins 0
Bandon put a great performance in this game against Harlequins. The pace was quite fast but Bandon seemed to take it in their stride. Their movement on and off the ball was first-class however they never capitalised on their numerous chances at goal. Harlequins did have some chances but Bandon’s defence and midfield worked hard throughout the game to keep the ball out of their defending half. Unfortunately for Bandon the scoreline stayed 0:0 until the final whistle.

Catholic Institute 5 : Bandon 4
Bandon's enthusiasm and drive could not be faulted in this game. Playing against the top of the league, Institute, was always going to be a tough game for them. Institute took the lead early on in the game and soon had a two goal advantage. Bandon however played well and were back in the game before long with two great goals from play. Both Institute and Bandon scored again before half time leaving the goals at 3 each. Institute pulled their socks up after the break and throughout the 2nd half scored two more goals. The game looked like it may have ended on that score-line until a short corner awarded to Bandon gave them their final goal. Credit to Bandon who played well throughout the entire game. Final score, Catholic Institute 5 : Bandon 4.
