Rebel army can play their part

Cork senior hurling manager John Meyler is looking for plenty of red and white in the Semple Stadium stands on Sunday — just like last year.

The Rebel supporters helped increase attendances at Munster championship hurling games last year by over 25%, and Meyler hopes those figures are maintained in Sunday's Cork-Tipperary clash (Semple Stadium, 2pm).

“We’re just looking for the Cork support to fall in behind the team — in fairness, we had almost 25,000 people in Páirc Uí Chaoimh last Sunday, most of them from Cork.
