Patience a virtue as O’Halloran content to play waiting game

THE LOT of a reserve goalkeeper can often be a lonely one.

With chances to play usually restricted to injuries or loss of form on the part of the first choice, there can be plenty of heel-kicking done on the bench.

That has been the case for Cork pair Ken O’Halloran and Paddy O’Shea as Alan Quirke has been the dominant custodian on Leeside in recent seasons.
