Beckett determined to erase painful memories

Bill Beckett’s memories of St Finbarrs’ opening round game of the 2017 Cork senior hurling championship are stamped in his memory.

Beckett, a Freshford native whose grandfather and granduncle hurled for the Barrs, had hit five points when his season came to an end 49 minutes into their opening championship game last year.

Operating from centre-forward, the Barr’s captain was running for a puckout when his knee gave way.
