DARA Ó CINNEIDE: Destiny will see Crokes and Cross clash again

For all their dominance of the game in Kerry and their back-to-back Munster titles there is sense that Dr Crokes must seize the opportunity and give their followers at least one more day out.

It was Martin Luther King Jr who turned Shakespeare’s well-worn words on their head to tell us that “the tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood — it ebbs” and Crokes will be well aware of that as they prepare for Ballymun in Thurles this evening.
