Kilmurry boss Cormac Linehan wary of Naomh Padraig, Uisce Chaoin danger 

Kilmurry manager Cormac Linehan says his team will have to be at their absolute best if they’re to topple Naomh Padraig, Usice Chaoin in the All-Ireland Club JFC semi-final. 

Daniel McCauley’s side take on their Cork and Munster counterparts in Parnell Park on Sunday with just an hour separating the winners from a place in a decider showpiece at Croke Park. 

Interestingly, Kilmurry haven't been in competitive action for five weeks now while the Ulster and Donegal champions from Inishowen were out last weekend, in London, as they saw off Tara GFC in Ruislip.

That was a rearranged fixture after their scheduled December 7  encounter fell foul to the weather. 

It’s a tight turnaround for Naomh Padraig and Linehan says it could work for or against his side tomorrow. But that will only become apparent once the action gets underway. 

“Any team from Ulster is going to be strong,” the Kilmurry boss says.

“We have seen their games. It’s very easy to watch games nowadays with the likes of Clubber and Ulster television. 

“They have looked very impressive to be honest. They can all play football and look well-organised. It will be a tough game for us, no doubt about that.

“It’s probably an advantage for them in the sense that they only played last weekend, but it is what it is. You have to take the cards you are dealt with. 

“They also had to get through that game against Tara and there are a lot of issues with logistics of travelling over and back to London and getting focused again for the following weekend. 

"There’s for and against playing a game in London so close to an All-Ireland semi-final. That’s their job to navigate that. Our job is to stay focused and we have been working hard on that. I can’t speak highly enough of our players.”
