Gilmore gunning for Skibb summer sojourn

While O’Donovan Rossa captain Pat Gilmore is in his late 30s, this is just his fifth county SFC campaign with the club.

Originally from Galway, the former Cortoon Shamrocks man moved when his wife took up a paediatrics posting in Cork in 2009 and has established himself as one of the most consistent midfielders in the county.

Tomorrow, the Skibbereen side get their championship campaign underway against another West Cork club, Dohenys, in Drimoleague, hoping to build on last year’s semi-final appearance.
