Tony Leen: Why Togher's boys in blue thrive in the red zone

St Finbarr's are the Ronseal of Cork football - what you see is what you get. But they're damn good at it.

St Finbarr’s celebrate their victory over Clonakilty in the Cork Senior Football Championship final, which was held in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 

OFFERING succour to the footballers of Clonakilty, with an assurance that they left it all out there at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday, will be best served from some distance away.

The comfort of a smart, competitive display will be cold. The human condition demands that Haulie O’Neill, his management, and the group, will reflect on their one-point defeat and linger on all the mini-moments that cost them a where-did-that-come-from county football title.
