County final programme omitted important facts

HAVING attended the county hurling finals last week at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, I, like most neutrals, felt sorry for Cloyne losing out for the third year on the trot in the senior final.

The presence of Carbery men on three of the four sides whetted the appetite of patrons from west Cork in the build up to these finals.

As a supporter of Kilbrittain, who endured three intermediate county final losses before eventually winning at the fourth attempt, I hope perhaps that Cloyne can take heart from this.
