The McCarthy Insurance Group Senior Football Championship continues to showcase the very best of Cork club football, with big performances and tight margins shaping the road to this year’s semi-finals.
After an exciting group stage, Nemo Rangers, St Finbarr’s, and Newcestown emerged unbeaten, each topping their respective groups with strong scoring form. Castlehaven, Carrigaline, and Ballincollig joined them in the knockout rounds.
In the quarter-finals, St Finbarr’s produced a powerful attacking display to overcome Castlehaven, while Ballincollig edged Duhallow after an end-to-end contest.
