Barr’s searching for redemption

Previews: Sars are bidding for a return to the local summit after Imokilly denied them back-to-back titles on the concluding Sunday last year. 

Cork Premier SHC Group 1: Sarsfields v Fr O’Neill’s, Carrigtwohill (N Fahy), 7.30pm 

Two teams with ambition. Sars are bidding for a return to the local summit after Imokilly denied them back-to-back titles on the concluding Sunday last year. Fr O’Neill’s are determined to build on a 2024 summer that brought a debut quarter-final appearance. Sars’ Division 1 success, with minimal involvement from their Cork contingent, suggests they are perfectly primed for another assault. This is a group where Fr O’Neill’s can sneak through in second, but the necessary points may have to be collected elsewhere.
