For the second time in four days, Newcestown face into a senior championship game, with tonight’s Bons Secours Hospital Cork Premier SFC quarter-final with St Finbarr’s in Páirc Uí Chaoimh (7.30pm) representing the chance to reach a second consecutive semi-final.

However, having lost Sunday’s SAHC semi-final to Fr O’Neills in the wake of a hampered build-up – and with the death of club stalwart Jimmy O’Mahony – it’s little wonder that football manager Tom Wilson doesn’t describe the preparations for this re-arranged clash as ideal.
