On the back of a Cork Premier IHC county win that took them all the way to last January’s Croke Park final thriller, Fr O’Neill’s are still going strong. The 2019 season was a major achievement in its own right, so the remarkable return of the club to the big stage once more is phenomenal as they prepare for Sunday’s Cork SAHC decider.

The strength of hurling in east Cork hasn’t gone unnoticed either. O’Neill’s joint manager Dave Colbert says the accomplishment of Imokilly’s three-in-a-row is transferring to the clubs.
