Former Cork and Glen Rovers star Jimmy Lynam has celebrated his 100th birthday.

A member of the great Cork team of the early 1950s, Lynam won All-Ireland senior medals in 1952 and 1953. He also has two Munster senior medals and a National Hurling League medal. And he won seven Cork senior titles with the Glen, playing alongside such luminaries as Christy Ring.
