VIDEO: Future is looking bright for Kilmurry

Cork’s first ‘double’ in 1890 was achieved by the hurlers of Aghabullogue and the footballers of Midleton, but in Kilmurry there has always been an element of ‘what if’ attached. 

Kilmurry lost to Midleton in the county semi-final that year, having had a goal disallowed in the final minute. While they gained revenge in beating the Magpies two years later, they lost to Clondrohid in the county final and never managed to claim a senior title.

They’re still waiting, but the portents for the future are bright — in 2015, the football club’s underage section won seven different trophies across U15, U16, and minor levels.
