Carbery the favourites to pull off treble

CORK intermediate football champions Carbery Rangers are chasing their third Munster championship title in a row when they play Limerick champions Pallasgreen in the provincial decider tomorrow.

In 2003 they won the junior title but failed in the All-Ireland final; last year they won the Munster and All-Ireland intermediate championships and are now in line for a hat-trick of titles which would see the Rosscarbery club create their own bit of history.

The Cork club will start favourites on the strength of what they have achieved to date, but the loss of two key players in full back Anthony Roche and forward Seamus Hayes has shortened the odds considerably.
