Ballygiblin are awaiting on confirmation from Collingwood that AFL footballer Mark Keane is free to line out for the Cork side in Sunday’s Munster Club JHC final.

The Ballygiblin management are confident of having the AFL contracted player in their team for the provincial decider against Tipperary’s Skeheenarinky, but, at the time of writing, Keane was still awaiting the all-clear from Collingwood.
