Patience a virtue for Cork’s number one custodian

MUNSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL:

Peaking during the spring, the line would dip violently come championship as Alan Quirke resumed his position between the sticks.

Last year was slightly different in that the Bishopstown man made his SFC debut against Limerick and lined out in the following games against Clare and Kerry before being replaced by Quirke for the qualifier with Galway and All-Ireland quarter-final against Dublin.
