In 1995, Kilbrittain won the Cork the county IHC – at the fourth attempt, having lost deciders in 1988, 1989 and 1993. Clonmel Sportsfield is the venue for the AIB All-Ireland Club semi-final against Davidstown-Courtnacuddy of Wexford (1pm) and Kilbrittain manager Joe Ryan is optimistic that his side can build on their Munster success. “I think the fact that it was a Munster final meant that we needed that little bit of a break,” he says. “In the Munster final, I thought they played very, very well but they just worked really hard. I think, from having looked at them, I'd say it should be a very good game, probably a very physical game.
