Solo run: Only Limerick fan on Cork street calls in 'green' back-up

Among Joan Leddin’s neighbour’s is Marie Finn, aunt of Cork hurling goalkeeper, Ger Cunningham, who is now part of Cork’s management team

The only Limerick woman living on this tight-knit Cork city street is set to call in some ‘green’ reinforcements as her neighbours prepare for what they hope will be a weekend of celebrations.

Joan Leddin is the only person flying a Limerick flag from her home on Annmount, a row of opposing terraced houses off Friar’s Walk in the south inner city, where residents have created a sea of red and white to mark the street's 130th anniversary the day before Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling final clash between Munster rivals, Cork and Limerick.
