There's a lot of sadness and sickness in the Imokilly camp, manager Denis Ring revealed after the Cork Premier SHC final win over Sars. It was their strong bond that helped them through tough times.

“There’s a lot of sickness in our camp. I lost my sister and her husband last year, unexpectedly. Avril (Geary) chairperson lost her mother this year. The most driven thing of the whole lot, and it is great to see Darragh O’Brien and Ciarán O’Brien up on the steps, their mother Caroline died of cancer earlier in the summer.
