This is the second year in a row that the Rovers have reached the final and having lost out to Donoughmore last year will be hoping to may amends this time around. The Rovers defeated Eire Og in the round robin series of games in June on a scoreline of 3-18 to 3-13. Another close game is expected at the City venue on Sunday.The Rovers also defeated Donoughmore in the A championship before losing out narrowly to Clonakilty in the quarter-final.
In the Senior B Championship Eire Óg defeated Boherbue after extra time to advance to the final v Bride Rovers.
This year the team is captained by Eleanor Ahern. With the addition of some new players to the panel there is a nice blend of youth and experience which will be vital on the day. Several of the girls have gone on to represent Cork at various levels and we congratulate Eleanor, Grace and Jennifer on their success last Sunday adding another All-Ireland medal to their cache.
The team this year is coached by Sarah Denver. Sarah has vast experience having played for Dublin in recent years and Ballyboden St. Enda’s who have being very successful at club level, winning 2 Club All-Irelands. The team have also being assisted by Liam Barry, Shane O’Connor, Terry Broderick & Darren Cody in recent weeks in the build up toSunday’s final.

Hard luck to Bride Rovers who bowed out of the Championship after a heavy defeat to Fermoy on Friday evening.
