The Boherbue Co-Op Duhallow junior A football championship gets underway this week starting with Newmarket playing Boherbue in Kiskeam this evening at 8pm. There is further action with Kanturk against Ballydesmond in Millstreet on Wednesday, Millstreet against Rockchapel in Newmarket on Thursday and finishing off with Kiskeam against Lyre in Dromtarriffe on Sunday.

Newmarket enter the competition following a very good league campaign, which ended in a narrow one point defeat to Rockchapel in the semi finals. Tonight’s two sides have already met in the league this year, with Newmarket coming out victorious. Although players have been lost to the intermediate grade, the hope is that the result will be the same this time around.
