Blackrock determined to regain old glory

CORK champions Blackrock, cast in the now too-familiar role of underdogs, face Clare’s top dogs Sixmilebridge in Ennis tomorrow in the AIB Munster Club hurling semi-final hell bent on victory.

It's fifteen years since a Cork side won a Munster club hurling title. Once they were kings of the castle, nine successive titles in the 70's, now they can't get past the drawbridge.

The slide started in the '80s, a mere three crowns, but since 1987, there has been no success.
