I’m home by my own lovely Lee

I love Cork.

I love its people, their accents. I am their kin, and that’s how I know they love their birthplace too, says John Creedon

SPORTS commentator Pat McAuliffe was mid-sentence as I switched on the car radio. By the time he reached the full stop, I knew who was playing. ‘It’s the girls in blue who have the sliotar now. Tracy Ryan to Breeda Power and on to Sheila Ryan … (‘All good Waterford names,’ I think to myself.) … dispossessed by Aoife McCarthy, who releases it to Siobhan Crowley, on to 16-year-old Sheila Cronin (sounds like the Cork minor camogie team to me) ‘…who pops it over the bar making it Cork 1-6, Waterford 0-4 points.’ Knew it.
