While not mentioned at training this week, according to manager Fergal Ryan, take as read that pride will be a significant motivating factor for Blackrock tomorrow afternoon.

The Rockies, for the few who need reminding, are the reigning Cork senior hurling champions. What also hardly needs stating is that their reign will come to an end should they fail to overcome St Finbarr’s at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
