Richmond hold the aces in Challenge Cup final

KILFEACLE and Richmond clash in Sunday’s Munster Junior Clubs Challenge Cup final (Charleville, 2pm).

The sides have contrasting form in their league campaigns since their semi-finals in September. Richmond top Division One while a string of injuries and late losses leave Kilfeacle in a surprise relegation battle.

Richmond enter the tie as hot favourites, given their recent form, and the displays of Jonathon Ford, Stephen Clancy and Garrett Hanlon. Kilfeacle will try disrupt the quality of Richmond ball and hope to win the forward battle. But the latter’s quality out wide may see them claim the trophy for the first time.
