Andy Wood expects more fireworks in final clash between Cork Con and Clontarf at the Aviva

Joey Carbery and Darren Sweetnam have both moved on since starring for Clontarf and Cork Constitution in last year’s Ulster Bank League Division 1A final, but Andy Wood insists there will still be plenty of talent to savour as the sides contemplate another decider this Sunday.

’Tarf edged a thrilling encounter at the Aviva Stadium last May by just three points. Carbery scored a try and landed four conversions that day. Sweetnam claimed one of Con’s five-pointers. Both followed that up with breakout seasons for Leinster and Munster respectively.

“Joey was outstanding last year but then, if you look at the numbers, Mick Browne made an exceptional number of yards, Conor O’Brien was excellent, Matt D’Arcy was excellent. We had some good strike players across the park,” said Wood, the Clontarf coach.
