S(ave) O(ur) S(eason) - One episode in and the worst is being feared

The man walking down the street in Thurles yesterday morning, as Cummins imagined, has all but written off his team.
Neither played at home on Sunday (all four victors in the provinces this past weekend were the home side) and are just a quarter of the way through their campaigns but the die might as well be cast given some of the commentary of their defeats. As new as this is, the old knock-out mentality is a difficult one to shrug off.
