There they will take on Blackrock in a city showdown that is a repeat of this year’s group stage tie between the pair that St Finbarr’s won and marks the first time in 40 years the two clubs have collided with the silverware on offer. They trailed 1-9 to 0-1 after the opening quarter and then were hit with another setback when defender Conor Twomey was shown a red card, a penalty that seemed harsh on replays when the foul appeared to merit a yellow card.
