Corkery fêted as outstanding Cork sports person for 2002

COLIN CORKERY was last night fêted as the outstanding Cork sports person for 2002 at the annual Jurys Cork Sports Star awards banquet.

The Gaelic football star was honoured for his part in helping Cork and Nemo Rangers to Munster Championship success, and his selection was enthusiastically received before a glittering gathering of sport, religious and civic leaders at Jurys hotel.

This distinction helped compensate for the disappointment of defeat for Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final and defeat for Nemo Rangers in their All-Ireland club final.
