The Rebels will also wear the special commemorative geansaí, which honours Leeside patriots Tomás Mac Curtain and Terence McSwiney and the events of the War of Independence in 1920, for the football clash against Derry the following weekend.

They will be on general sale from Monday and in sports stores across Cork and are certain to be popular with Cork supporters.

Back in 2016, the hurlers wore a limited-edition blue top harking back to their original colours before the Blood and Bandage, red and white, became associated with Cork GAA. 

That was also released to buy and is still on O'Neills website.
