Tadhg Coakley: A blend of then and now in the new Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Tadhg Coakley on all things new at Páirc Ui Chaoimh Saturday night

There was a rewarding blend of new and old inside the new Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening when the women came to play. I was glad I went along.

What was new? This great Cork women’s football team gracing the main Cork GAA stadium was new; so too the pitch they played on; the venue hosting a male-female double-header was new; new, too, the Cork men’s footballers playing in Division 3 of the National League.
