Time for Carbery Rangers to come in from the cold

Last chance saloon for Carbery Rangers? Ronan McCarthy doesn’t believe so.

Sunday’s decider may represent a second final appearance in three years but it is their involvement at the semi-final stage on six occasions since 2010 that gives a clear indication of how long this Rosscarbery team have been knocking on the door, and, how often they’ve been left out in the cold.

For Declan Hayes (36), Anthony Roche (35), Kevin MacMahon (34), Seamus Hayes (33), John Hayes (31), Stephen Murray (31) and Alan Jennings (30) — all bar Murray featured in the semi-final win over Avondhu — the window of opportunity is narrowing.
