Heartwarming scenes as All-Ireland winners Cork visit Crumlin children's hospital

After their double All-Ireland success on Sunday, the senior and intermediate Cork camogie teams visited Our Lady's Children's in Crumlin on Monday.

The intermediate squad defeated Down in Croke Park before the senior charges overcame their rivals Kilkenny for the second successive year by just one point to retain the O'Duffy Cup.

In what has become a beloved tradition in GAA, there were smiles all round as the patients and staff met the All-Ireland winning teams and posed for photos with the silverware.

The victorious Cork teams are expected to arrive in Mallow at 7pm before heading onto Cork city for the homecoming where the celebrations will continue.
