EARLY this week, it was a good time to catch Cork breeder Frank Motherway. Not only had the Rebels pulled off a last gasp, smash-and-grab win against Kerry, but Motherway and his hardworking family were also still basking in the latest potential star to emerge from his Yellowford Farm, impressive Tipperary fillies bumper winner Party Central.

“Twas some game alright and some goal. You wouldn’t mind seeing those Kerry faces turned upside down alright,” Motherway says with a laugh. Spoken like a true Cork man.
