Firies next up for Limerick champions Cappagh in Munster Junior Football Championship

LIMERICK champions Cappagh take on Firies, of Kerry, in the Munster junior football championship semi-final on Saturday next, November 23 in Austin Stack Park, Tralee at 1pm.

The west Limerick club won the junior football championship for the first time since 2015. Cappagh remain unbeaten in this year's championship. 

The junior county champions have been boosted by the return of Seamus O'Carroll. O'Carroll previously lined out with Castleknock in the Dublin SFC.

"I was gone working away in Dublin. I enjoyed my time up time up there and it was a great expierence. It was about trying to bring something back to the club here. I'm one of the older stalwarts of the club. It's all about trying to bring that experience" said Seamus O'Carroll. 

In 2015, Coolmeen defeated Cappagh in the Munster junior football championship quarter-final. Seamus O'Carroll feels his club are now in bonus territory.

"We are in bonus territory. We were here in 2015 and we didn't really appreciate the fact that we were county champions. We'll give it a good rattle." 

Cian and Seamus O'Carroll impressed scoring 1-6 out of their side's 1-8 in the county final. It has been a special month for the Cappagh players. Some of the Cappagh players were also involved on the Croagh-Kilfinny team that won the intermediate hurling championship. 

Firies dramatically defeated Ardfert after extra time in the Kerry junior football final. The Kerry champions comfortably got past Fenor of Waterford in the Munster JFC quarter-final.

Former Limerick footballer Padraig De Brun is part of the Firies side.
