Corcoran: Rebels have a just cause

AS ordinary fans put their weight firmly behind Cork hurlers on Saturday, the players’ camp scored another big coup as a county hero broke his silence to back his former team mates, accusing the County Board of “killing the senior team”.

With 10,000 Rebel supporters mobilising to support the team, Brian Corcoran — a hero among Corkonians, but one who has kept his powder dry until now — spoke to the crowd who gathered on the Grand Parade.

The vocal supporters streamed through the city centre from Emmet Place via Academy Street and around the Fr Matthew statue at the northern end of Patrick Street.
