Youth policy paying rich dividends for St Finbarr’s

For St Finbarr’s, hope comes through the bloom of youth.

As they grapple with a four-way relegation battle in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship, a group of 14-year-olds, born a side of the millennium in which St Finbarr’s have won no County titles, no All-Ireland Club Championships, are creating a buzz around the Togher club.

Their Seniors have gone 22 years without a hurling title but, at the U14 grade, such waits are beginning to crumble into the sands of time... A first U14 County prize in 30 years. A first County Féile win in 21.
