Carbery’s greater strength in depth to pay dividends

DUHALLOW take on Carbery tonight in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship in Coachford (7.30pm).

Duhallow raised a few eyebrows last year by defeating Muskerry in the opening round, and will look to build on that result.

Unfortunately for most divisional teams, clubs are now reluctant to release players to play, and Carbery have suffered most in this regard. Bandon, Kilbrittain, Argideen Rangers, Barryroe, O’Mathunas, and Ballinascarthy are all excellent hurling clubs, and if the call is answered, they should carry too much power for their opponents.
