Gary O’Flaherty now targets All-Ireland glory for Cork

Gary O’Flaherty is hoping to crown a successful individual season by helping Cork Golf Club to an All-Ireland title.

O’Flaherty, 41, a former Irish youths international who was part of the Little Island club’s 1998 Senior Cup-winning team, has a chance of bringing the AIG Barton Shield back to the Cork clubhouse after he and playing partner John Hickey along with Mark Ford and Brian Kelleher landed the Munster title on home turf on Saturday.

Cork progressed to next month’s AIG Cups and Shields national finals at Carton House when they overcame Limerick in Saturday morning’s provincial semi-finals and then defeated Tramore in the pennant decider.
