'Everybody realises the Barrs have to start maximising our potential'

St Finbarr's manager Paul O'Keeffe

Special and all as St Finbarrs’ famine-ending 2018 county final win was, it’ll be a source of significant regret and disappointment within the current panel if they finish up without having added a second Andy Scannell Cup.

On Sunday at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the Barrs contest a fourth Cork football semi-final in five years. Two of the previous three ended in victory, with the one penultimate round clash that went against them in recent times - the 2020 semi - decided by sudden-death penalties.
