Bride Rovers Junior C Hurling team will play Midleton on Saturday in the Semi-Final of the East Cork Junior C Hurling Championship in Dungourney at 4.30pm.
The Junior C enjoyed a great win in the quarter-final against Castlemartyr and will go into the game with Midleton in a confident mood.
The team management are unfortunately without the services of Gavin O'Flynn who sustained a leg injury in training recently but can still call on a mix of youth and experience for the game.
Best of luck lads.
