For fear of butchering the local geographical landscape, we’re going to reheat Canovee selector Tommy Murphy’s recent explainer of just how close they sit to this evening’s county final opponents.

“A lot of people probably don’t realise how big the rivalry is between Canovee and Kilmurry, but the bottom line is that Canovee is in Kilmurry parish, so we are right in the middle of it,” Murphy says of this evening’s Premier Junior football finalists. “Both are always vying for players and all that, so it’s the biggest rivalry that we have.”
