Kelleher praises Cork spirit

Cork came from behind to beat the DDSL in extra-time yesterday at Tolka Park and win their first FAI Inter-league Youths Cup since 1978.

After losing last year’s decider to Kilkenny in extra-time, the Rebels’ hopes of ending their drought looked grim early in the second half when they fell behind to Alan O’Sullivan’s header

However, the Leesiders equalised through Sean O’Callaghan’s penalty and extra-time goals by Corey Long and Conor O’Driscoll settled the tie.
