Cork football in rude health, claims O’Connor

THE year might have ended in disappointment for Cork, but the long-term prognosis is that football in the county has rarely been healthier.

That’s the opinion of Rebel attacker, Donncha O’Connor, who is eagerly looking forward to next season and a chance to finally get his hands on the Sam Maguire Cup.

Central to the optimism of the Ballydesmond sharpshooter, and of Cork supporters in general, is the calibre of player being produced by the underage structures.
