Signs are good for Lynch’s Clonakilty

WHEN the celebrations finally died down after Clonakilty CC’s maiden All-Ireland triumph last April, thoughts turned to what to do with the signs and bunting dotted around the west Cork town.

The temptation was to bin the lot but after the school and town council consulted, they decided to store them away.

The foresight has been rewarded. The school’s progress to a second successive All-Ireland final this afternoon has seen the placards being hauled out of storage. “We really weren’t expecting this,” said Clonakilty CC coach Val Lynch.
