The excitement in Freshford is palpable as St. Lachtain’s prepares to face Castletown Liam Mellows of Wexford in the AIB Leinster Junior Club Final this Sunday.
The game, throwing in at 1:30 pm, will be broadcast live on KCLR, with coverage proudly sponsored by Farrell’s Bar, Freshford.
The journey to the provincial final has captured the hearts of the community, bringing a buzz to the area that club legend Murty Kennedy perfectly summarized. Speaking to KCLR Sport, he reflected on what this moment means to the people of Freshford:
“It’s our turn now, and we need a bit of diversification in life, you know. This is grand to have it, and it’s local. We know everybody, everybody knows each other, and it’s the topic of conversation always. Because we have the rest of the year to worry about other things—more important things maybe in life—but this is the important thing this week anyway.”
The full interview with Murty Kennedy will air this Saturday on KCLR Sport, offering more insights into how this team has rallied the community and made their mark on the provincial stage.
Will their journey end in glory? Tune in to KCLR on Sunday to find out!
