Now or never for ‘minnows’

KILMURRY/IBRICKANE hope to emulate the feat of fellow Clare club Doonbeg by winning tomorrow’s AIB Munster Club SFC title for the first time.

Tomorrow’s decider takes on an added edge in that it’s only the second time since the inception of the competition in 1964 that the final does not include a team from Kerry or Cork.

Apart from wins by Thomond College (now UL) in 1977 and Doonbeg in 1998, the Munster Club football title has been the prerogative of the Cork and Kerry champions in the 40 years of its existence.
