Skibbereen meet rivals Clonakilty in Cork County Cup final

Skibbereen flanker Richie Byrne holds off the attention of an Old Christians defender during their Cork County Cup semi-final in Rathcooney on Sunday.

WEST Cork rivals Skibbereen and Clonakilty will clash in the final of the Cork County Cup this Sunday in Bandon.

Skibbereen defeated Old Christians, 18 – 13, in their semi-final at Rathcooney last Sunday to book their place in the decider against their Clon neighbours.

Old Christians led 10 – 9 at half time, with Ger Hurley scoring three penalties for Skibbereen, and he added another three in the second half to point Skibb into the county final.
