When local artist Maura O’Connell of West Cork Casting Studio was commissioned to prepare specially-moulded hand casts for none other than Cork GAA legend, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín, and rising Cork GAA star, Melissa Duggan, she couldn’t wait to get stuck in.

Former Cork captain Shane O’Neill believes the proposed minor hurling management team of Dónal Óg Cusack, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín, and Tom Kelly can only inspire the players in 2020.

The return of Dónal Óg Cusack to the Cork fray was never going to run smoothly. And the award for most obvious hurling statement in 2019, beating “Liam Sheedy has the x-factor” and “you can never write off Kilkenny”, goes to...

Donal Óg Cusack is officially back in the Cork GAA fold after County Board chiefs tonight recommended him as the new manager of the county’s minor hurlers.

Last night in Youghal could have been 2002, or 2004. Or 2007. Or 2010. Cork and Waterford were facing off in hurling once again, with all the chips on the table.

For development purposes, Cork needs as many schools as possible plying their trade at the highest level.

Sean Óg Ó hAilpín has bemoaned Cork’s recent difficulties in Croke Park and suggested that John Meyler’s side would have “hammered” Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final had the game been transplanted back to Munster.

While Clare were sharp, Derek McGrath’s team were blunt. And surprisingly and disappointedly, undisciplined.

Rugby legend Ronan O’Gara paid an emotional tribute to the people of Cork as he was conferred with the freedom of the city he said he loves.

Ronan O’Gara’s eldest kids almost stole the show after watching their father receive the Freedom of Cork.

RONAN O’GARA was granted the Freedom of Cork, a signal honour that dates from the 14th century. 

Rugby legend Ronan O’Gara will be conferred with the Freedom of Cork City today during a ceremony which will be streamed live to the world.

It was Paul Murphy who quipped last year that Kilkenny colleague TJ Reid, who sells animal feed in his day job, looks like ‘he’s eating a few of them himself’.

Na Piarsaigh 0-13 Naomh Abán 0-3: Na Piarsaigh were on top of their game in Carrigadrohid on Saturday, producing a fine display of football to book a quarter-final place in the Cork Premier IFC. On a wet evening, they emerged easy victors in this round 2A clash against a Naomh Abán side that never got going.

Douglas 2-18 Na Piarsaigh 1-18: An outstanding contest, highlighted by the skill and class of Alan Cadogan, presented a much more positive image of Cork hurling after the flop in Semple Stadium the previous Sunday and fittingly Douglas were the winners in this first-round game in Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

John Allen feared he would be remembered for all the wrong reasons in taking off Brian Corcoran in the 2005 All-Ireland semi-final against Clare.

Mia Hamm is a legend of women’s soccer in the United States. She is retired some ten years but she is still revered Stateside.

The 2014 season wasn’t without its fair share of disputes and furore. But just where does the likes of Shane Enright’s non-black card, Parade-gate and Stephen O’Keeffe’s safety-defying save from Anthony Nash rank in the GAA’s biggest on-field Championship controversies since 2000?

A host of Irish sports stars joined the late Donal Walsh in a fantastic video to promote an organisation that wants to help athletes affected by catastrophic sports injuries.

Aidan Walsh isn’t the first Cork player to make a big decision about his future. A few years back one of his dual predecessors in red and white also had to make a call.

Valley Rovers 0-12 Na Piarsaigh 0-8

It’s been a topsy-turvy year for Na Piarsaigh.
