Star Kilkenny quartet return to bolster UCC

THE Evening Echo Co SHC semi-final between Newtownshandrum and St Finbarr’s definitely goes ahead at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday following the decision of the Munster Council to rule the Erins Own appeal out of order.

The Caherlag club appealed to the Provincial Council against the decision of the Cork County Board to rule them out of their championship for failing to fulfil a quarter-final tie against Newtownshandrum.

Cork’s recent All-Ireland hurling success has added greatly to the county championship and Sunday’s two semi-finals should draw a huge crowd to Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
