Ballygarvan hope it’ll be all White on the night

Ballygarvan, a parish just outside Cork city off the Kinsale Road, was the ancestral home of Liam MacCarthy, the London-born Irishman who in the early 1920s donated the iconic All-Ireland SHC trophy to the GAA.

In just over a week’s time, after the All-Ireland final against Clare, Stephen White, a true-born Ballygarvan native and member of the current Cork senior hurling panel, hopes to be in the position to bring Liam back among his own to the local club grounds that have been named in his honour, Páirc Liam Mhic Cárthaigh.
