Legends of Cork GAA preview the All-Ireland final
Two legends of Cork GAA met in the Mardyke in University College Cork (UCC) to preview the All-Ireland final between Cork and Clare.
Dr Con Murphy has been involved with Cork and UCC GAA as doctor, selector, coach and 'father figure' for over 40 years and is currently President of UCC Gaelic Football Club, while Dr Paddy Crowley is President of UCC Hurling Club and represented UCC with distinction and played Cork minor in the 1960s and for the senior side in the early '70s. He was subsequently involved on the managerial side with a host of College teams in the Fitzgibbon Cup and county championships.
On the Cork extended panel, there are 26 players who currently are students in UCC or have graduated from the university. Against Limerick in the semi-final of the 26 on the match day panel, 18 had a connection with UCC, including selector Donal O’Mahony - and don’t forget Shane O’Donnell from Clare either!
UCC wishes the best of luck to Cork and Clare in the All-Ireland final.
