Cahill: Bruff wake-up call has Shannon wary of road ahead

Wanderers and Lansdowne captains Michael Kevany and Ross McCarron join Ulster Bank’s Joanna Fitzpatrick at the Aviva Stadium.

TOURNAMENT specialists Shannon last week received a timely warning that forewarned is forearmed in advance of the Ulster Bank League kick-off around the country today.

Defeat in the semi-final of the ODM Munster Senior Cup at the hands of Bruff was a particularly chastening experience for Shannon’s assistant coach Eoin Cahill, who last season picked up a Bateman Cup medal with the county Limerick side.
