Eddie and Seán Óg top bookies’ list for the year’s top honour

FINANCIAL guru Eddie Hobbs and All-Ireland hurling hero Seán Óg Ó hAilpín have been installed by the bookies as joint favourites to lift the title of Cork Person of the Year, at the annual awards ceremony which will be held in the Rochestown Park Hotel today.

Munster and Ireland fly-half Ronan O’Gara is tipped in third spot and the other nine monthly award winners are back the field.

However, sources close to the contest, which is now in its 13th year, have predicted a surprise could be on the cards.
