Randals and Bantry Blues met in football league match at Ballinacarriga on Friday evening last, 3rd August.

Before the game, a minute's silence was observed in tribute to former Randal Og footballer, John Burke of Oakmount who passed away during the week. John was a founder member of the Randal Og club, and was at midfield on the team that won  a West Cork football championship in   the inaugural year of 1953 and for the years afterwards.
