An All-Ireland winner with Kerry as player and manager who now brings sharp, modern tactical analysis of the game to Irish Examiner readers and listeners.

In the recent past there has been very little between Cork and Tipperary.

The championship game in 2018 was an outlier with Cork winning comfortably, but close games have been the norm with the odd score usually separating the sides. As recently as last Spring Cork won the league game in Thurles by a point in a high-scoring encounter.
