So long to the seagulls - my last day with
@ExaminerSport
as I head to other duties within
@irishexaminer
soon. Thanks all for the help over the years.
All-time great winning speech here in Nowlan Park. Tullaroan captain works for championship sponsors Michael Lyng Motors: "We'll have the 2020 catalogue out soon, come in and ask for me"
Fair dues to Ger Loughnane for remembering. "Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now and better yet to come." - Ring.

Today’s column took off. It was sad to have to write it but it’s encouraging - in a way - that so many recognise the problems. It suggests people don’t want to accept the neglect because they believe Cork deserves better.
Thanks all re
#thegame
and all who gave their time to the production - opening pitches, travelling for interviews, making time in their schedules etc; hugely appreciated, hope you enjoyed the results
Very sorry to hear of the passing of Tim Horgan of
@briandillons
and Farranferris. Very decent man who was great to drop you an encouraging note, wrote outstanding books on Cork GAA and Christy Ring. Sympathies to the family on their loss.
Interviews with Cork captain Sean O’Donoghue and Patrick Horgan, on that match-winning, season-saving, last minute penalty - keep an eye across the

A thought about
#Peig
- if she'd written her book now, about a woman's struggle with domestic issues, the culture of the time, poverty etc, she'd have a book deal/podcast/feminist icon status instantly
Dog s--t, wild parking, derelict buildings - add in the antisocial behaviour, vacant units, traffic congestion, graffiti on historic sites and whatever you're having yourself. Cork is in trouble, and where are its champions?
Delighted for this man, all time great on the field and all time great off it. Fellas play for him and why wouldn’t they? Future Cork senior manager gan dabht.

Cork U20 and minor hurlers and footballers took to the field recently in the new 2023 Cork Training kit, available exclusively in Sport Direct stores today.

Just in the door for Cork v Waterford. Saw the Cork tops. I suppose if you had one of the most marketable jerseys in Irish sport it would only make sense not to use it.
Many thanks, authors of Corkness
