'First stop will be Charleville!' - man of the match Darragh Fitzgibbon relishing Rebels' victory 

'I knew I had to try and nail it. Being so close to Limerick I would never have heard the end of it. I had to score it.'

Official man-of-the-match Darragh Fitzgibbon said he would never have lived it down had he missed the 65 that sent the game to penalties. The Charleville clubman is too close to the Limerick border.

He also noted that striving to be as good as their near neighbours has made Cork a better team.
