There’s going to be plenty reminiscing about Cork’s flagship GAA stadium on RTÉ tonight.

THERE’LL BE PLENTY reminiscing this weekend as Sunday’s Munster hurling final is the last game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh before the stadium is set for a major redevelopment project.

Tonight on ‘Thank GAA It’s Friday’ on RTÉ 2, there are famous moments recalled from the stadium and in particular that day in August 1983 when Dublin came down to Leeside for the All-Ireland semi-final replay.

Cork’s long-serving team doctor, Con Murphy, and Irish Examiner journalist Michael Moynihan recall the invasion of Heffo’s Army.
