Harnedy admits championship pace left him ‘breathless’

Cork’s newest hurling star, Seamus Harnedy, said the step-up in pace to Munster championship left him “absolutely breathless” in Limerick on Sunday.

However the Cork debutant recovered to pick up the man of the match award in an against-the-odds Rebel win over Clare.

“After 15 minutes, you were absolutely breathless. You’re just hoping your second wind will kick in. Thank God the training paid off and we could match them on the day.”
