Curran at home on the big stage

RONAN CURRAN has been a fan of the Munster final since he was six years old.

“I used to love going up to Thurles, though the first Munster final I saw was the Killarney final in ‘87, when I was six or seven. Myself and my father and grandfather would head off together, tea and sandwiches in the back of the car.

“I suppose 1990 was the big one, Cork were underdogs and there wasn’t much hope for them but Mark Foley got 2-7 and Cork went on to win the All-Ireland. That’s the great thing about hurling, the uncertainty.”
