Teddy McCarthy in Millstreet Town Park

On the day that Cork G.A.A. legend, Teddy McCarthy was laid to rest, it brings to mind the time he played in Millstreet Town Park on St. Patrick’s Day, 1992. Teddy was one of a number of intercounty footballers, which included many local names, who played in a fundraiser match for Dan O Donoghue when he sustained his serious spinal injury.
