Eire Óg will show no fear, says Fox
Not that the other three clubs are the ugly sisters — Thurles Sars, whom Eire Óg meet in their semi-final (2pm), and both Loughmore-Castleiney and Drom-and-Inch, who meet in the other semi-final (3.30pm), are all worthy teams in their own right. But Eire Óg? Who saw this coming? Certainly not club stalwart and former Hurler of the Year (1991) Pat Fox.
“No one really would have picked us out to make the last four, that’s for sure. The furthest we went when I was playing was that after a divisional final we got into a county quarter-final but that was always it. We never reached a semi-final in our lives.
