Castlehaven are through to a fourth county final in five seasons after overcoming near-neighbours, O’Donovan Rossa, in an exciting semi-final at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

More than 20 years later, the 1994 Cork SFC final between Castlehaven and O’Donovan Rossa remains steeped in local lore.

O’Donovan Rossa 2-15 Bishopstown 1-10 (Cork SFC quarter-final): O’Donovan Rossa’s opening round defeat to Bishopstown was “a blessing in disguise”, reflected manager Shane Crowley in the aftermath of Saturday’s successful revenge mission in Dunmanway.

A total of 110 days have passed since Bishopstown’s last Cork SFC game – a win over O’Donovan Rossa in the first round – and tonight’s fourth-round clash with Clyda Rovers in Páirc Uí Rinn (6.45pm).

It was only over the the weekend that I got around to reading your page long presentation (Irish Examiner, July 27) on the patriot O’Donovan Rossa.

Concerning the recent O’Donovan Rossa funeral commemoration rhetoric; it should be noted that John Redmond and the Irish Parliamentary Party had strong associations with early Fenianism.

It was little surprise that Sinn Féin, as part of its determined effort to highjack the 1916 commemoration, held its own August 1 event at the Glasnevin grave of Jeremiah O’ Donovan Rossa.

The Irish Examiner has devoted much space this year to Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa.

Playing with O’Donovan Rossa’s dynamite and his monstrous reign of terror from 1867 to the mid 1880s, is a very irresponsible policy agenda for this state to pursue. No liberal democracy on this earth would place such an evil man on a pantheon of glory.

LAST Saturday, the Irish State re-enacted the oration of Padraig Pearse at the graveside of Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa. 

The legacy of Pearse’s oration at the graveside of O’Donovan Rossa was very fitting for the occasion and shows up the shallowness of contemporary Redmondism.

Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa must be turning in his grave at what has become of his beloved country since ‘independence’.

It was moving, solemn, and dignified.

Certain things tend to run in families — particularly names. Williams Rossa Cole is a great grandson of O’Donovan Rossa. His brother is Ross Williams Cole, and their father was William Rossa Cole. The brothers have four children between them — all have a Rossa in their name.
