Morgan lavishes praise after sweet success

WHEN the passionate din of an extraordinary afternoon finally subsided, Cork were still in with a chance of winning this year’s All-Ireland senior football title.

A dramatic day was eventually decided by a magnificent Brendan Jer O’Sullivan goal midway through the second half. Cork went on to record a splendid victory in the first of the All-Ireland quarter-finals at Croke Park yesterday.

For team manager Billy Morgan, it was as sweet a success as he has ever tasted, and he lavished praise on his charges for their victory.
