Kissane feeling the hunger

If he held any doubts about the squad’s hunger to drive on for another senior football season, Paudie Kissane saw those dissipate on a Sunday afternoon last March in Castlebar.

Cork reeled in Mayo in the finale, overcoming a five-point deficit to chisel out the narrow victory thatpropelled them towards the knockout stages of the league, where they ultimately claimed the Division 1 title.

“People talk about having hunger and motivation, but you need to show on the pitch that you have it,” said Kissane.
