Cill na Martra and Knocknagree show power of community and culture

As Cill na Martra and Knocknagree meet with both on the cusp of top tier Cork football, their rise is about than trophies. It's about a shared culture of community, volunteerism, and pride.

Both Cill na Martra and Knocknagree opted against a press event ahead of Sunday's collision.

No harm in that. And certainly no criticism is intended in pointing out such. Outside of the Premier Senior finalists in Cork, where there is a long-standing tradition of inviting the media inside your front gate ahead of the showpiece event, it is at the discretion of all lower-tier finalists whether they choose to throw open their doors and present players for conversation.
