Ballinhassig enter the Theatre of Dreams

IT’LL be a dream come through for Ballinhassig when the boys in blue run out onto the hallowed turf of Croke Park tomorrow for the final of the All-Ireland club intermediate hurling championship against Dicksboro of Kilkenny.

“Never in our wildest dreams did we think that our little village club would play in an All-Ireland final at Croke Park,” said Ballinhassig President Donal Coleman.

“Ballinhassig players have represented Cork there with distinction and I am sure more will in the future, but we never envisaged that we would play there as a club.”
