Macroom in the mood to a taste of Munster glory

COLMAN CORRIGAN’S football career took many twists and turns, but he has fond memories of his days as a student at DLS Macroom.

Macroom is a town steeped in football tradition and gave Cork some great players like Mick Gould, Dan Murray, Timmy O’Callaghan, JJ Henchion, Tim ‘Gunner’ O’Leary and Corrigan himself, all of whom wore the county jersey with distinction.

Third in line in the roll of honour with 10 county senior titles, Macroom fell on lean times for over 30 years, but there are signs of revival as the club won the county U16 title two years ago, a minor title last year and are one of the fancied teams for this year’s premier grade.
