Coleman fires Blues for big time return

BALLINHASSIG will pick from a full squad for their first appearance in the Cork Co SHC — since their defeat by Glen Rovers in 1972 — when they take on Na Piarsaigh at Pairc Uí Rinn (throw-in 4.20pm).

Blues mentor Diarmuid Coleman said: “This a massive occasion for us and one we are going to enjoy.”

“We are where we want to be, but with relegation in operation for the first time, it’s important to win at least one game to keep your senior status.
