Brilliant Barr’s stun Carbery
On that occasion they lost to Nemo Rangers, but the 2009 final, scheduled for October 18, will be a reprise of the 1985 showdown when a Jimmy Barry-Murphy-inspired Barr’s side claimed victory over Clonakilty.
Last night’s result at rain-lashed Pairc Ui Rinn could be viewed as a surprise following Carbery’s quarter-final heroics against Nemo Rangers, but the intensity and composure the west Cork men brought to the table on that occasion was not in evidence against an excellently-drilled Barrs side.
