Sars must build from the back, says Earley
Club chairman Dermot Earley, the former Roscommon star, admits that their team faces a huge challenge against Dublin side Kilmacud Crokes, based on how impressively Crokes beat Rhode in last weekend’s replay in Newbridge. Midfield, too, will be crucial he says, where his son Dermot forms a strong pairing with county team-mate Alan Barry.
En route to Sunday’s final, Sars beat former champions Éire Óg in Carlow. Their only other outing was against Louth champions Mattock Rangers. “We ran into an early lead but they came back at us before we pulled away to win by five points,” said Earley.
