‘Privileged’ Sean Óg joins Rebels’ greats as lifetime dream comes true

IT was a dream realised as sportsman supreme Seán Óg Ó hAilpín joined the greats by leading Cork to victory in Croke Park yesterday.

“From the days I started school in the North Mon and joined the Na Piarsaigh club, it was always pointed out to me that the greatest honour for a Cork hurler is to go up the steps to the Hogan Stand and be presented with the MacCarthy Cup.

“I am honoured and privileged to have achieved that distinction now and I can honestly say what all those people told me was dead on,” said an elated Cork captain.
