Tullamore set to shoot up the ranks
The Duhallow club produced a brave performance but it was generally a rearguard effort against a physically superior and ruthlessly efficient Tullamore team who expect to be playing senior rugby next season.
Kanturk coach Mick Murphy saw it for what it was: “We can’t have any complaints. I suppose conditions didn’t suit us given the physicality of the two teams, but we must recognise the quality they brought to the game; I fully expect Tullamore to win the round robin and go senior.”
