Bandon and Kanturk to fight it out

BANDON will be seeking to qualify for the county JFC final for the first time since 1975 while Kanturk are in pursuit of their first ever appearance in that decider when the two sides clash in the Cork JFC semi-final in Páirc Uí Rinn tonight at 7.45pm.

Both clubs have been knocking on the door in recent years with Bandon lifting the Carbery title for the third time in five campaigns last month while Kanturk won their second Duhallow crown in three years this season.

After their intermediate hurling triumph, Bandon will have had their football skills sharpened by the recent two-game saga in the county quarter-final against St Finbarr’s, with James O’Donovan, Cork minor Mark Sugrue, Donough Lucey, Darren Crowley and James Milner impressing.
