Cork star tracks down young fan he accidentally injured at Tipp game

A great gesture!

After experiencing the joys of Cork's win over Tipperary on Sunday, a young fan suffered an unfortunate injury when running on to the field after full-time, to get close to his heroes.

He went straight for Darragh Fitzgibbon, who, unbeknownst to him, accidentally knocked the kid to the ground and continued on his way.

It was then left to Tipp star Noel McGrath to check on the youngster.

However, Fitzgibbon has shown his class by getting in touch with his sponsor, the car dealership Cavanaghs of Charleville, to help track down the boy and present him with a signed jersey.

The fan was quickly found, with the dealership posting a further update to their page.
