Mullinahone and Killenaule tipped to advance in South SHC semi-finals
The Glanbia South SHC semi-finals take place this week with Killenaule taking on Carrick Davins in Clonmel on Thursday evening at 7.15pm and champions Mullinahone meeting Carrick Swan in Kilsheelan on Friday at 7.15pm.
Killenaule, runners up last year and champions in 2008, will be looking to Matthew O'Donnell, Paddy Codd, Declan Fanning, Michael Doyle, Donal Shelley, Gerry Kennedy and John O'Dwyer to see them through but Davins have added a breath of fresh air to this championship since winning the county Intermediate title in 2009 and on form will put it up to the Killenaule boys. They will be looiking to Richard McGrath, William O'Dwyer, Lee Mackey, Michael Ryan, the Butlers Noel, Shane, JJ , Ger Robinson and Michael Cronin for big games. However Killenaule just might edtge this one.
Mullinahone will be putting their title on the line with a mixture of experience and youth - the experience of Paul Curran and Niall Curran, A J Cronin, Vincent Doheny and Eoin Kelly and the youth in Kevin Walzer, Kevin Bolger, Sean Curran and Cathal Horan.
Carrick Swans who have improved with each game can call on Alan O'Sullivan, Kevin Lannigan, Gerry and Craig Walsh, Danny O'Hanlon, Kieran Reade, Stephen Hahessy and Dwayne Fogarty and while they will not be found wanting, Mullinahone can shade.
