Red faces as Rebels get credit

GAA chiefs were left red faced yesterday after it emerged that Cork were inadvertently credited with victory in the All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry at Croke Park.

As thousands of Kingdom fans rushed onto the field to celebrate their four points victory over the Rebels, the giant scoreboard situated at the Stadium’s Canal End flashed the message: “Comhghairdeas Corcaigh, GAA Football All-Ireland champions 2009.”

Moments later it was replaced by: “Comhghairdeas Chiarrai, GAA Football All-Ireland champions 2009.”
