O’Shaughnessy fights his corner

WHEN Stephen O’Shaughnessy runs out onto the Croke Park pitch on Sunday he may be a little more enthusiastic than his team-mates.

The Dublin corner-back was close to missing the Leinster SFC final after dislocating his shoulder against Wexford, a close call that may help him appreciate Sunday all the more.

Come the throw-in on Sunday it’ll be almost exactly four weeks to the minute since his season, brimful of promise and potential, took a hammer-blow.
