IT’S a final. However, it’s not one either club is accustomed to, or one they crave to be involved in.

IT’S been a mutually beneficial relationship. Since Anthony Nash first stood between the posts for the Cork intermediate hurlers in 2003, he’s given the grade unwavering focus. In return he’s picked up three All-Ireland medals – in 2003, 2004 and 2006 – and even though he’s played in bigger matches since, his interest in this afternoon’s All-Ireland IHC final is undiluted.
