Ballincollig to face St Finbarr’s in Cork SFC opener

Back in May, Ballincollig produced a rejuvenated second-half performance to see off St Finbarr’s, and yesterday’s draw paired the sides together again.

With four of this year’s semi-finalists seeded, many heavyweights were kept apart. Premier Intermediate winners Valley Rovers will have to play the side Ballincollig beat in the senior final, Carbery Rangers, while 2012 and 2013 winners Castlehaven meet Clyda Rovers.
