Sad omission as Corkery ignored

THE ALLSTARS’ penchant for bizarre omissions continues. This year’s football selection might have been unremarkable but for the staggering exclusion of Cork captain and full-forward, Colin Corkery.

Corkery, though, was not unduly fazed by his omission: "I am not one bit disappointed by the decision," he said last night. "There are more important things for me to worry about right now, like getting fit for the Munster club final on Sunday week.

"I am delighted for Anthony (Lynch). He has a magnificent season and deserves to be chosen. I already have an Allstar award, So it is no big deal losing out this year. The club is far more important and if we could we retain our Munster title and go and win the All-Ireland that would be far more satisfying for me," said Corkery. He rates himself as 50/50 for Nemo Rangers' meeting with Monaleen in that Provincial decider on Sunday week.
