A shift in southside superiority. The Barrs - at the sixth attempt - have finally bested their Nemo neighbours on the concluding Cork Sunday. A psychological peak conquered where so often before they’d failed. https://t.co/oZNClG2sV7

St Finbarr's have won their first Cork Premier SFC title since 2021 and an 11th overall. For Nemo, they will rue their late missed chances.

“It was probably the most heartbreaking and heart-warming thing you could see,” said Midleton boss Micheál Keohane, himself a participant on the evening. “It was just trying to do something that the lads wanted to do, something that could maybe distract people for a small while.”
A month before his passing, Darragh McCarthy & his cousin, Seán O'Meara, finished second at a Hyrox in Cork city. Two months after he passed, and to honour his memory, Darragh's family, friends, & Midleton teammates staged their own Hyrox at the same venue https://t.co/SxdrwZoqfY

Sunday's Cork hurling final features the county's two most consistent club teams of the past three years. It also features two of the most decent & articulate club managers in Cork. A chat with Johnny Crowley on wanting to win for Sars' angels in the sky. https://t.co/WDpIwsH5jN

The same as Midleton and the premature losses they suffered during the spring, neither camp is short on perspective or the larger picture outside of their hurling ambitions.

Seeing as the Brian Hayes quotes lifted here are pulled from my chat with him on Sunday, Brian did also state, as was included in Monday's Examiner, that he is more than happy to put his body on the line for the Barrs and go back out weekend-after-weekend.

A new name in Cork's final Sunday pairing would of course be welcome. It is not, though, the responsibility of Nemo and the Barrs to invite guests in and facilitate romance. They are no ambassadors for change. The broader picture does not concern them. https://t.co/0So4o0cnP2

For the fifth time in six years, Cork football’s county final will feature Nemo Rangers and St Finbarr’s — the dominance endures

Seán Powter will be unavailable to the Cork footballers in 2026, the 28-year-old having this week informed John Cleary of his plans to emigrate to Australia. Injuries spoiled his Cork existence from 2018-20, has been involved in every c'ship game since. https://t.co/72GJ15aMIH

The dynamic Powter will be a loss to the Cork set-up chasing escape from Division 2 and a first return to the League’s top-flight since 2016.

There was a time when Sars would have sweated such a fixture & its finish. They routinely sweated and mentally stumbled in such fixtures & tight finishes. That time wasn’t long ago at all. Their fragile past now has the feel of being from another lifetime. https://t.co/Y1nHv1WIht

For the third October in succession, Sars shaded the county semi-final by a single point. From frequently blinking to an inability to flinch.

Steven Sherlock on his year away from Cork: “The year out & the new rules coming all at once has reignited me. Inter-county is full-on commitment and if you are not 100% in it, no point doing it. The year out has definitely benefited me for the long run.” https://t.co/nQIOAnEbLT

Having recently confirmed to the Irish Examiner his rejoining of the Cork panel for the 2026 campaign, he has opened up on why he stepped away for the inter-county season just gone.

Talking points from Cork football quarter-finals weekend. Of the Barrs' six goals at Clon, midfielder Ian Maguire finished their opener, assisted their last one, won the penalty for their fifth, and had a strong hand in two more. https://t.co/g2ZCekZmK3

We are down to the last four in Cork's football championships and there are familiar names in the top grade - though not all.

The Blues are traveling well. Very, very well. East to Midleton last weekend, west to Clon on this latest Sunday. The surrender of slain champions taken back home to Togher as gift souvenirs. https://t.co/Y3N7bwnNXf

'It is nice to come down to West Cork and get a win when you hear about city clubs not liking to travel beyond the Viaduct,' said Barrs leader Ian Maguire.

The champions are gone. And given the age-profile of their most loyal servants, the slain champions could be gone for a while yet. But this is not about Imokilly. This is a blue-letter day. https://t.co/wZ5QV1cHEq

This was the best St Finbarr's performance since they last won the county title three years ago.

Why is nobody asking Mary Lou about Gemma O'Doherty, or questioning visits of other politicians to Syria?
