Ardfinnan’s hopes of upset hit by injuries

ARDFINNAN’S chances of toppling Nemo Rangers in Sunday’s Munster club SFC quarter-final have been dealt a severe blow with the news that Alan O’Gorman and Hugh Bannon are likely to miss the game due to injury.

O’Gorman tore ligaments in his knee in the recent county final win over Loughmore Castleiney while Bannon dislocated his shoulder in the same game.

Bannon played through the pain barrier to score Ardfinnan’s goal, and while he is having intensive treatment, it’s a race against time to be fit.
