The gardening experts will argue that seeds can’t germinate in frozen ground. And yet, it has been a January full of green shoots for the Cork footballers
It may very well be the second last weekend of November but that does not curtail the action with five big hurling games down for decision; 2 county finals and 3 Munster club semi-finals with 3 Cork teams bidding to extend their season.
It’s a somewhat strange weekend coming up with the focus clearly on the All-Ireland Hurling Final, but just a week out from the start of the county football championships and then it will be action packed from here to the conclusion.
The curtain came down on Cork’s inter-county season in Croke Park last Saturday with the defeat to Dublin, so now it’s up to the Cork camogie and ladies football teams to see if silverware can return to Leeside.
