The impact of Blarney’s injection of youth is there for all to see.

Having been involved in a premier intermediate relegation play-off in 2016 and ‘18, Blarney’s leap to county semi-finalists last year and finalists this weekend might seem out of kilter when compared to the poor campaigns of seasons previous, but in no way is it a surprise to those who have been keeping an eye on an underage section that has been churning out some of the most promising young talents in the county.
