Newtown harbour great expectations

IN GOLF, it is said any good player can win a major once but only the greats manage it twice. Newtownshandrum’s Brendan Mulcahy can probably appreciate that sentiment as the Cork champions chase a second AIB All-Ireland club hurling title to elevate themselves to a whole new level in the pantheon of club teams.

“To be mentioned along with the likes of Birr, you have to do it a couple of times,” admitted Mulcahy.

“Most of the really great sides have done it numerous times.”
