Double blow for Carbery

CHAMPIONS Carbery Rangers have a mini crisis ahead of Sunday's Munster Club IFC final against Pallasgreen at Fermoy (2pm).

Full-back Anthony Roche is out of the country while Seamus Hayes is ruled out with shin splints.

"Anthony's departure had been well signposted," said club official James Hubbert, "but now that is has happened he is going to be very difficult to replace. Seamus has not played since the county final and his replacement has done very well in the two Munster championship games since, but in a final you need all your best players if you are to succeed."
