Taking a seat for a Páirc Uí Chaoimh passion play

Sport is all about emotion. It’s why we watch it and participate in it.

On Sunday, on the day of the official opening of the new Páirc Uí Chaoimh — on the day when the Cork senior hurling and football county finals were decided — there were many emotions for those present.

My first time going to the new Páirc was last July when Waterford and Wexford played in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final and on that day, when I turned the corner of Maryville to walk down that familiar hill to the ground, I felt pride.
