Win or lose, Cummins is set for the sunshine

A WINTER of discontent awaits the losers of Sunday’s Cork SHC final. However, no matter what the outcome, for Blackrock’s Alan Cummins the months ahead are sure to be filled with warm sunshine and happy memories.

Immediately after the final whistle (3.15pm throw-in) he will make a mad dash for a five o’clock flight out of Cork airport on his way to Australia.

He will marry his Australian fiancé Michelle Rose on Friday Oct 24 and plans to spend the next 12 months down under. The flights have been planned for months and no matter what the result, Alan says he will be on the plane that takes him to Heathrow, Singapore and finally on to Sydney.
