Erin’s Own facing tough test

CHAMPIONS Erin’s Own put their Evening Echo Cork SHC title on the line against Carrigdhoun at Pairc Uí Chaoimh tonight (7pm) and are expecting a difficult hour from the divisional side.

“Our last competitive game was back on the May bank holiday weekend when we beat Bishopstown and it hasn’t been easy keeping the interest going since then,” said team coach PJ Murphy.

“We’ve played a lot of league games and were busy in the divisional U-21 and junior hurling championships, but because of county duty, we never had a full team, which hasn’t helped in our preparation.
