Hurley says Barr’s will rebound

PRIOR to yesterday’s final, the conventional wisdom was that, while St Finbarr’s were good finishers, they struggled to start games well and it could prove to be their undoing.

The opposite was the case as they went three points up early on before being reeled in by Nemo Rangers.

Barr’s selector Briain Hurley acknowledged that Paul Kerrigan’s first-half goal punctured their early momentum: “Obviously we’re very disappointed,” he said.
