Seanie McGrath: There will never be any inferiority complex when Blackrock meet Glen Rovers

There’s mutual respect there, I suppose, because of all the stories and folklore. Though I have my own sob stories and sorrowful tales of Rockies clashes, writes Seanie McGrath

We grew up in the Glen on stories of the Rockies rivalry. The older generation would dig up moments and controversies that swung things one way or the other over the decades. But my standout memories are of the players.

I didn’t see much of Ray Cummins, only video. But I saw loads of the two Cashmans. Jim was a beautiful player, Tom was one of the sweetest strikers you’ll ever see.
