Babs Keating referenced a metaphor about donkey races that was misapplied to Cork, illustrating how narratives can be shaped. Such misinterpretations reflect the nature of rivalries, where the lore tends to overshadow actual events, creating lasting myths. These narratives become intertwined with the identities of the competing teams, showing how stories evolve from one generation to the next in the context of rivalry.
Avid horse racing fan Babs Keating's metaphor about donkeys not winning derbies was misinterpreted and used to fit a narrative about Cork in the 1990 Munster final.
In storied rivalries, the mythology often overshadows actual events, creating narratives that blend fact and folklore over time.
