Wolfe Tones deliver Intermediate title in style

Wolfe Tones (Clare) 1-18 Newcestown (Cork) 2-13: John Meyler, according to James Carrig, walked into the Wolfe Tones dressing room after their Munster quarter-final defeat of Kilmoyley and informed the opposition that Cork champions Newcestown were more than a match for any team in the province.

The Clare champions had beaten Meyler’s Kilmoyley by 4-12 to 2-6, but his words left a sour taste.

On Saturday afternoon, Wolfe Tones brought the curtain down on Newcestown’s season, and, in the process, secured the club’s second Munster title, adding to the senior hurling crown annexed back in 1996.
