The micro reflected the macro as St Finbarr’s finished strongly to book their return to the final of the Co-op SuperStores Premier SHC.
At SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday, the Barrs began slowly against Kanturk before improving and then gunned for home with seven unanswered points. It was a journey reflective of their championship campaign as a whole – having qualified with one win in three, they are now carrying form into the decider as this followed the win over Imokilly in the quarter-finals.
They certainly had to earn it as the heaviest charge against a Kanturk side that gave their all was that they ran out of legs and didn’t have the depth to replenish.
