September silverware a perfect finale for Cork’s season of progress

The first Monday in September may not trip off the tongue the way the first Sunday did, but those in Mourneabbey in Cork last night will wax lyrical about that date for some time to come.

Last night the Cork minor footballers came home - officially - with the All-Ireland title. They were the only side to come out of Croke Park last weekend with a cup, and it was only natural they’d want to show it off. The place to do so was Clyda Rovers, home club of team captain Conor Corbett.
