Celebrations on hold as St Vincent’s set sights on Munster

UNDERSTANDABLY St. Vincent’s have celebrated their Cork Premier IFC victory in style for the best part of the week. Last Sunday’s success was charged with emotion, coming at the end of three gruelling matches plus two periods of extra time.

Team coach Keith Ricken called a halt to the celebrations after three days and had his charges back on the training field as they geared themselves for tomorrow’s Munster Club quarter-final against Tipperary champions Mullinahone in Cloneen (near Fethard).

“This is virgin territory for us,” said Ricken. “A club like ours doesn’t get too many chances to win a Munster title, and having sampled the excitement of the Cork triumph last Sunday, everybody involved with the team as well as the players are keen to add provincial honours.
