The countdown is officially on.
On Friday, 20 March 2026, schools across Cork and beyond will unite for Stand 4 Féile – Jersey Day, a powerful show of support for Féile O’Sullivan.
Just days before her 13th birthday, Féile’s life changed forever following a serious farm accident. Since then, she has shown incredible bravery and strength as she faces months of rehabilitation, surgeries and a long road to recovery.
Now it’s our turn to stand with her.
On Friday, we’re asking everyone to wear their favourite jersey — club, county, school or team colours — and make a small donation. It’s a simple gesture, but one that carries a powerful message.
Every jersey worn shows solidarity.
Every donation makes a real difference.
Every school taking part reminds Féile that she is not facing this journey alone.
With over 100 schools already involved, the response has been nothing short of inspiring. Together, we can lift Féile, support her recovery, and show the true strength of our community.
Let’s fill classrooms, corridors and school yards with colour this Friday.
Let’s Stand 4 Féile. 💛
Cork 1-31 Kildare 2-19
By Jack McKay at Páirc Uí Rinn
Promotion fate placed back in Cork hands, though not without a worrying wobble against Kildare. The nine-point winning margin doesn’t reflect Cork’s dominance for 50 minutes. Nor does it reflect Kildare’s rampant fightback in the closing stages.
Substitute goalkeeper Micheál Aodh Martin made four saves for Cork in the last 10 minutes, including a penalty after Patrick Doyle was shown a black card.
The Leesiders can count their lucky stars to have still come away with victory over the Lilywhites.
Kildare, meanwhile, are in trouble.
The impact Ben McCormack, Jack Robinson and Alex Beirne had allowed Kildare to chip away at the deficit. That scoring difference swing might save them.
Robinson had slipped through for a goal in the 51st minute to leave it 1-26 to 2-12, but Cork answered with four more white flags to lead by 15 after 56 minutes. They would only score once more from there. Ben Loakman’s orange flag preceded Doyle’s foul on Brian McLoughlin resulting in a black-card penalty.
Martin was sprung from the bench in place of Dara Sheedy – who had been excellent for Cork – and made a brilliant save to deny Beirne. The first of his four saves to spare Cork any late blushes. Add in Luke Fahy’s goal-line clearance in the 59th minute, this one could have been very embarrassing for the hosts.
By the interval Cork were 1-22 to 1-6 ahead. They kicked eight two-pointers alone in the opening period, as the hosts made full use of their wind advantage at Páirc Uí Rinn.
Cork finished the first half with only two wides. Of their 1-22 first-half tally, 1-19 came from play. A commanding response after last week’s drubbing in Derry. Cork had 0-5 on the board before their opponents struck for their first point.
Kildare had been blown away. Even when Brian Flanagan’s side added their first major after 25 minutes, they still trailed by 11.
The goal was well taken – Brendan Gibbons finishing after Darragh Kirwan’s ball in – but three minutes later Cork had carved out a response. Or rather, had been handed one.
Ian Maguire intercepted a misplaced handpass from Brian Byrne, and off it moved through Brian O’Driscoll and Mark Cronin before Chris Óg Jones buried to the net, 1-17 to 1-3. Cronin then added on Cork’s seventh from deep, and the margin swelled to 16.
From there Cork should have pushed further ahead. Instead, they completely lost their way late in the second. Nonetheless, a point in Tyrone, and a place in Division 1 is theirs.
Kildare at least succeeded in limiting the damage.
