'My name is John Cronin and I am from Lisgoold. I was always proud of that'

Inspirational skipper reflects on an historic first Cork county hurlin title for small Imokilly club

LOUD AND PROUD; Lisgoold, captained by John Cronin, celebrate after defeating Harbour Rovers in the Cork JAHC final at Pairc Ui Rinn.

Captain and wing-back John Cronin excelled for Lisgoold in their maiden Cork JAHC victory today. He is a well-known name in hurling through college, Imoklly and Cork. But he is always at the heart of anything good that is Lisgoold.

“Growing up in Lisgoold, I was never disappointed or never afraid to say to someone I was from Lisgoold. Even though we are a small parish, the first thing I would always say is, my name is John Cronin and I am from Lisgoold. I was always proud of that.
