How does one sum up Cork v Tipperary? A rivalry of classic games, GAA icons, dashes of red and blurs of gold amid blue, and of the spiralling emotions of these counties are their entrenched fans.

The words of the men caught in the middle of this 130-year plus conflict help capture what it means.

As Canon O’Brien told his Cork players before the 1992 final, when asking his players to look at both jerseys hanging on the wall. โ€œIโ€™ll tell you the difference. See that one? Thatโ€™s the blood and bandages of Cork. See the other one? It has a big yellow streak running through it!โ€

Tony Reddin, who escaped after the 1950 final disguised as a priest, once said: โ€œCork are never beaten until youโ€™re putting on your clothes in the dressing room afterwards.โ€

Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney trace their way through GAA history to unveil some of the fantastic memories and highlights these neighbours have provided.

The huge games, the fans bursting onto the field, the late comebacks, the painful hammerings, the memorable winners.
