Written off. And fiercely motivated by being written off. So said Castlehaven boss James McCarthy after his team avoided a third consecutive county semi-final defeat to St Finbarr’s.

“I don't listen much, but the bookies were giving us no chance today, so that was a great motivation for us,” McCarthy remarked.
