Charleville hoping for one final high

THEY’RE not done yet – a little matter of a Munster club JHC final on December 11 still to come – but already it has been a season to remember for Charleville.

It started with a terrible low, a serious neck injury to Dessie Fitzgerald in the county semi-final win over Kilbrin in early October. A couple of months later, however, Charleville won their first junior county hurling title.

Since then they have won two games in Munster, beating Kenmare (Kerry) and Rockwell Rovers (Tipperary), and on Sunday week in Mallow another slice of history beckons.
