Up for the cup: Rebel and Banners fans flying the flag

From scaling mountain peaks to iconic global landmarks — Cork and Clare hurling fans are going to great lengths and heights to show their true colours ahead of tomorrow’s All-Ireland showdown.

Denis Crowley, 34, from Castlelyons in Cork, proudly flew the ‘blood and bandage’ from the highest peak in one of the world’s great mountain ranges.

He even found time, perched on the 4,810m-high summit of Mont Blanc in the Alps, to show off his Rebel Passport. “But I’ll be home in time to be at the game in Croker,” he assured.
