Eamonn Sheehy: ‘This is the biggest day in the history of Newcestown’

There’s no sitting on the fence from Eamonn Sheehy; today’s Munster intermediate hurling final is “the biggest day” in Newcestown’s 56-year history.

Having fallen to Ballyhea in last year’s Cork Premier Intermediate final, the goal was simply to climb one rung higher on the ladder in 2015. Munster hurling did not feature on their radar.

Their county final annihilation of Valley Rovers propelled them into “bonus territory” and when Clonakenny were overcome by the minimum two-weeks ago in Cloughduv, their place in the Munster final was secured.
