Cork Con rejoice in Grand display of club hero Peter O’Mahony

Proud as punch, of their own man Peter O’Mahony, the rest of the Munster contingent and this Irish team as a whole. That was the ecstatic reaction of a small group of Cork Constitution stalwarts when they watched — and played every move — intently as Ireland swept to triumphant Grand Slam and Triple Crown wins on top of the Six Nations Championship title.

After watching the game on television at club headquarters in Temple Hill, Mick Boland, a member of the Constitution executive, was thrilled with what he termed “a sensational performance”.
