Sars reach for stars having built from ground up

With three county SHC titles since 2008 and another one to be possibly added next Sunday week, Sarsfields are now a bona fide Cork hurling superpower.

It would be easy in times of plenty to ignore the underage structures, but if anything they are only strengthening, as exemplified by county titles won at U16 and minor level, winning the club the September Rebel Óg award.

While the U16 side have beenunbeaten as a group since U13 level, the minors lost county finals to Blackrock at U12, U14 and U16. Adopting the motto of ‘one more step’ all year, then Glanmire side overcame Killeagh/Ita’s after in a replay to ensure they achieved their goal.
