Keane taking clash of the Saints very seriously

ST MARY’S coach Peter Keane insists his side will not be underestimating the challenge posed by Manchester outfit St Peter’s in Sunday’s All-Ireland JFC semi-final in Kilmallock.

St Peter’s caused a huge upset a fortnight ago when they dumped Connacht champions Parke/Keelogues/Crimlin out at the quarter-final stage, a late extra-time goal securing their victory. Keane believes that result entitles St Peter’s to the utmost respect this weekend.

“The reality is that if we’d been playing the Mayo and Connacht champions, people would be saying that it’s a tough game and one we need to prepare properly for.
