Eager Duhallow are ready to come of age

TWO weeks ago, Duhallow minor hurlers’ ambitions crumbled at the hands of Sarsfields in the county final.

Ordinarily, the division’s hurling days in the county spotlight are a scarce commodity, yet their rising rating ensures a second Cork County final appearance at Páirc Uí Rinn tonight.

They square off against Glen Rovers in the county U-21 decider and it’s a shot at redemption, not alone for the entire camán community in division, but for the six players who feature on both teams. Banteer’s Jim Murphy serves as the U-21 boss and insists his players had no problems in focusing their minds after the minor loss.
