It’s just over 20 years now since the Cork hurlers went on strike for the first time, the first of three strikes during that decade, which also involved the Cork footballers, all of which led to the most chaotic, divisive and difficult period in the history of Cork GAA.

None of the obstacles put in their way forced them to change course, all of which led to better conditions for players everywhere.
