Dromtarriffe play in the Munster junior football final tomorrow against Beaufort of Kerry (Mallow, 3.30pm), having collected the Cork junior title this season for the first time in 59 years.

That kind of drought isn’t unknown for small rural clubs, and in their corner of north Cork Dromtarriffe have been fighting the good fight for years.
