Cork GAA is asking the Cork public to show their support ahead of busy week of inter-county games for the Rebel County.

Cork GAA is asking that clubs, businesses, families and individuals to display the Red and White with pride ahead of what is a busy week for Cork GAA.  On Wednesday Cork will play Galway in the All Ireland Under 20 Hurling Final in Thurles.

On Saturday both minor teams will be in action with the Footballers in action against Tyrone in the All-Ireland Semi-Final in Tullamore, and later that evening the Minor Hurlers will play Galway in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Final in Thurles. On Sunday the Cork Senior Hurlers take on Limerick in the All-Ireland Final in Croke Park.

County Cathaoirleach Marc Sheehan paid tribute to all the clubs, households, business owners and Cork supporters who have been so creative with their red and white decorations and their online support also.

He commented on the genuine excitement and expectation ahead of the start of a feast of games for the Rebels over the next 5 days.

“In Cork nothing compares to being involved at the business end of the All Ireland series irrespective of code or age group”.

He added “I wish all involved well and urged all travelling and supporting to abide by Covid 19 guidelines in all circumstances”
