NEWMARKET CELTIC will go in search of a place in the Munster Junior Cup final when they make the trip to Jackman Park this weekend.
Paddy Purcell’s side face off with Fairview Rangers at the penultimate stage. Although they exited the FAI Senior Cup at the weekend, Purcell and his management used the tie with Skerries Town to get more minutes into players like Stephen Kelly and Eunan Doherty who are pressing for inclusion in the starting eleven.
David McCarthy though he went off injured in the FAI Junior Cup semi-final win over Ballynanty Rovers is back available for selection and will once again occupy a key role for Celtic along with Eoin Hayes.
Celtic last reached the semi-finals of the provincial competition in 2019 when they lost out to Pike Rovers.
Sunday’s game kicks off at 1pm.
