Bale of a time: Limerick fan makes hay with cheeky challenge to Cork

Hurling-mad dairy farmer Roger Mulqueen has become famous for his towering hay and silage displays in his roadside fields in Crean outside the town of Bruff over the last four years

A Limerick farmer arranged his own giant bales this week in a cheeky hurling montage suggesting Cork will need a traffic-stopping incident to prevent Limerick from lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

In a nod to the bale chaos which caused huge tailbacks on the M7 and forced the Limerick v Waterford semi-final to be delayed, a picture of Cork’s goalkeeping pundit has been positioned in the front seat of a van with a straw bale strapped to the roof emblazoned with the slogan Donal Óg Transport 211-C-1.
