Kanturk set for final flourish

TONIGHT’S winners will have little time for celebrations as they will face a trip to Waterville less than 48 hours later for a Munster JFC quarter-final battle with Dromid Pearses.

Yet there will be no thoughts of provincial journeys here, with Kanturk chasing a first ever title at this grade and Mitchelstown aiming to bridge a 50-year gap since their last triumph.

Mitchelstown enjoyed good fortune with their semi-final win courtesy of a last gasp-goal by David Dineen. UCC county senior winner Shane Beston spearheads their attack with Laurence O’Flynn at midfield another key operator. However centre-back Stephen Fox is out with injury and is a major loss.
