TV show to feature Cork’s replica kit

The Cork hurlers’ temporary adoption of the jersey worn by the county 100 years ago is part of a documentary being made for TG4 by Fócas Films about the Rebel colours, called An Fhuil agus Bindealán (The Blood and Bandage).

“The idea is to look at what the blood and bandage means to the people of Cork,” said Sam Kingston of Fócas Films yesterday.

“The Cork jersey seems to have something extra to it, unlike other jerseys. We’re looking at what it means to players, what it means to supporters, and part of that is looking at where it came from in terms of how the county adopted it.
