Imokilly dreaming big again as they chase Cork SHC title

‘Dream comes true for Imokilly’ read the headline in The Examiner on Monday morning, October 6, 1997.

The previous day had been a red-letter one for the East Cork division, Fr O’Neills’ Brian O’Driscoll captaining Imokilly to a historic first Cork SHC title at Sarsfields’ expense.

“We’ve waited a long time to hold this baby,” Seán Barrett told reporters after the game, as he cradled the Seán Óg Murphy Cup on the bonnet of a car outside Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
