Cummins and Jackman take the silverware in Cooley

Brendan Cummins was once again ‘King of the Annaverna Mountain’ after the Tipperary goalkeeper picked up his sixth M. Donnelly All-Ireland Poc Fada title in Cooley on Saturday.

Cummins took the honours e on the ‘short-course’ in 39 pocs, with the usual five-kilometre course not used due to health and safety concerns because of mist on the mountain.

Derry’s Ruairi Convery and Down’s Graham Clarke battled it out for second place, with both finishing on 46 pocs. However, Convery took second after his final poc finished eight metres ahead of the Down custodian.
