Friday in the Irish Examiner

There’s a special supplement in this Friday’s Irish Examiner on the County Champions, and our Millstreet team are included:

For every club, every parish, village and town, it’s their own little All-Ireland. The day county champions become forever legends among their own people. From sprawling Ballincollig and Fermoy to the hurling hamlets of Ballyhea and Castlemartyr, 2014 is the year they will always celebrate and commemorate, one they’ll never forget. Nor will the Irish Examiner.
In a special 24-page magazine this Friday, we pen the stories behind the back-breaking efforts that drove Ballincollig, Ballyhea, Castlemartyr, Eire Óg, Fermoy, Millstreet, Sarsfields and Valley Rovers to Cork GAA success this year. Champions in the truest sense of the word.

Don’t miss this unique Cork club championship keepsake only in this Friday’s Irish Examiner  – (with thanks to the Irish Examiner for this note)
