A total of €2.8m has been raised by the Cork GAA Rebels’ Bounty draw, with the county board to pocket between €300,000 and €400,000 from the first instalment of the new fundraising initiative.

Cork clubs have netted €1.9m from the draw, a figure that led Cork GAA CEO Kevin O’Donovan to label the fundraiser an “incredible success”.
