A crazy game of hurling in the month of January, as best described by Pádraig Walsh. The Tullaroan centreback and county star, was one of four brothers who helped the Kilkenny side to All Ireland intermediate hurling championship glory in Croke Park on Saturday night.

Over the years, some outstanding teams have claimed the Seamus Long Cup, and on Saturday night in Páirc Uí Rinn, Fr O’Neill’s joined this illustrious group.

Fr O’Neill’s held off Blarney in today’s tense Cork PIHC semi-final at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Fr O’Neill’s survived a titanic battle with Ballincollig in a lively opening round of the Cork Premier IHC at Carrigtwohill tonight.

Fr O’Neill’s 1-18 Kildorrery 1-14: Driven on by a man-of-the-match display from Declan Dalton, Fr O’Neill’s were crowned Cork IHC champions in Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.
