Counihan beams with pride after Cork win

Having ended his county's 20-year wait for an All-Ireland SFC title at Croke Park yesterday, Cork manager Conor Counihan proclaimed that it was "a great day to be a Rebel".

It was a case of third time lucky for this Cork side as they banished the disappointment of All-Ireland final defeats to Kerry in 2007 and 2009 to deliver the Rebels' seventh ever Sam Maguire success.
