Corcoran’s Brothers Bring Delaney Cup To Two-Mile-Borris, Thurles.

Littleton & Two-Mile-Borris Correspondent Mr Gerry Bowe now reports:-

Two Mile Borris was a place of celebration on Saturday evening, November 15th, as brothers Dan and Matt Corcoran returned home with the Delaney Cup, following Louth’s historic Leinster Football Championship victory earlier this year.

The Corcoran family, Dan, Matt, and their parents David and Siobhán, originally from Blackrock, Co. Louth, proudly presented the cup after Louth’s landmark win on May 11th, in Croke Park, where they overcame Meath before a crowd of 65,786. The triumph ended a 68-year wait for the county.

The village of Two Mile Borris holds a strong connection to this achievement. Dan, with over 50 appearances for Louth and a stalwart at corner-back, played a central role in the success, while his brother Matt featured on the extended panel. Their father, David, is the son of Eileen and the late Seán Corcoran of Two Mile Borris, and the family maintains deep ties with the local Moycarkey-Borris GAA Club and with Tipperary sport generally, across both men’s and ladies’ codes.

David, Siobhán and their family are regular and welcome visitors to the village, and the community was delighted to share in this proud moment.

Dan and Matt will embark on new travels later this year, moving to Australia in December to explore the world. The people of Two Mile Borris extend their warmest good wishes to both brothers for good health, happiness and safe journeys in the years ahead.
