Changing times for city giants

Blackrock take on St Finbarr’s tomorrow in the second round of the Cork senior hurling championship, but whereas 30 years ago that was a county final pairing, this season both clubs are struggling.

Blackrock lost to Ballyhea in Round One, and the Barr’s fell to Douglas. Tonight’s losers will play the loser from the Sars-Bishopstown game and edge one fixture closer to the relegation play-off.

St Finbarr’s veteran Ronan Curran says tomorrow’s opponents have quality coming through.
