Cork hurler Sean O'Donoghue will fly the Rebel flag in online tournament

CORK hurler Seán O'Donoghue will fly the Rebel flag in the All-Ireland FIFA20 Charity Online Tournament this weekend.

The Inniscarra club man is the Leeside representative in the esports event to help support frontline workers combatting the spread of Covid-19.

A former Cork U21 football captain, we'll have to wait to find out if he's as good at the popular soccer computer game as he is on the GAA fields. He already beat off the rest of the Rebels to represent his county.

In his favour is the fact he's been assigned Lionel Messi and Barcelona for the matches, which will be live on Facebook from Friday at 7pm.

The final will take place on Sunday and among the high-profile players in the 32-county competition are Galway's Pádraic Mannion, Tyrone's Niall Morgan and Kilkenny's Paddy Deegan. 

Kerry’s Padraig Boyle and James O’Donoghue have to play off to decide who enters from Kerry, though their online team will be Swiss underdogs Young Boys.
