Veteran O’Connor ready to make a point against Dubs

What’s seldom is wonderful for Donncha O’Connor right now. Tomorrow’s semi-final represents just his third start of the campaign.

Brian Hurley might be the ever-present but O’Connor’s roles have been cameos. They might have been more substantial but for a couple of niggling lower limb injuries.

“I’ve been trying to get rid of them,” O’Connor said. “If you miss one day, you’re going to have sit it out and wait your opportunity. That’s just the way it is. That’s just the way Brian [Cuthbert] seems to work it and that’s what’s after happening the last few weeks.”
