Sweet Ilen call the tune in All-Ireland triumph

Ilen Rovers, Cork 1-11 St Michael’s, Donegal 1-4

A magnificent performance, highlighted by fine individual displays from goalkeeper Gary Coakley, full-back David Coughlan, left half back John Wycherley, corner-forward Jason Whooley and full-forward Kevin O’Sullivan paved the way for the West Cork sides historic seven points final triumph over St Michael’s of Donegal.

It took a great penalty save from Coakley and a penalty conversion by O’Sullivan at the other end to tilt the scales in Ilen’s favour.
