TRIBUTES HAVE BEEN paid to former Cork selector and Bantry Blues stalwart Terry O’Neill who passed away yesterday after an illness.
O’Neill was part of the Rebels’ backroom team when they captured the All-Ireland football crown in 2010, while he was a highly influential member of the Bantry Blues club.
He coached the Blues to the Cork SFC title in 1998 and alongside clubmate Graham Canty, they brought the Sam Maguire back to Bantry following their All-Ireland success nine years ago.
