Páidí gets O’Byrne ‘wake-up call’

WE never thought we would find ourselves writing it, but the — wait for it — unique appeal of the O’Byrne Cup manifested itself in Cusack Park, Mullingar, yesterday.

A crowd of 10,121 found themselves sucked along by a cracking game. But never forget it's the O'Byrne Cup.

Micko and Páidí won't forget it, anyway. They never got too excited about the McGrath Cup back in the old days, did they?
