Patrick Kelly: Could the Barrs be caught cold in Cork SFC semi-final showdown?

One of the big guns will disappointed this weekend.

THE WEEKEND sees divisional side Duhallow join the pre-championship favourites Nemo Rangers, St Finbarr's and Castlehaven in two mouthwatering Cork Premier SFC semi-final pairings. 

I felt at the start of the championship that we needed to see one of the next tier of clubs take out one of the big three to break up the predictability that has developed since 2017. That hasn’t happened but to their credit Ballincollig and Clonakilty did give a very account of themselves in narrowly losing their quarter final ties.
