‘This is very special for me, the players, their families and the club’

FOR the second week in-a-row a man steeped in greyhounds played a major role in his club’s county hurling championship success.

Last Sunday Gerry O’Sullivan worked the oracle for Carrigaline in the Cork IHC final, while yesterday it was the turn of Vincent McKenna to do likewise for Toomevara as they overcame Thurles Sarsfields in the Tipperary SHC decider.

McKenna wouldn’t agree the win was as good as winning the Laurels in Shelbourne Park. But it comes very close.
