Apartments unite former rivals on grounds of Glen Rovers hurling club

IN his sporting days, Kevin Cummins always wanted to demolish hurling adversaries Glen Rovers.

It may have taken several decades, but the Blackrock club hurler and now owner of seven sports shops in his native Cork got his wish with the 'inside' help of three Glen Rovers club members and sporting opponents.

A new landmark 22-apartment development is rising up out of the ground on the site of the old Glen Hall, epicentre of Cork's rejuvenated suburb Blackpool, where several hundred million euro is being invested.
