Is there a Bubbles O’Dwyer or Richie Hogan among the 30 young men to march behind the band this evening?

What a week to be playing in an All-Ireland U21 final. The buzz surrounding the game has never been louder, interest never greater and here the next generation have the opportunity to build on the marvellous senior spectacle we witnessed last Sunday at Croke Park.

If the hurlers from Wexford and Clare were looking for role models this week, they didn’t have far too look.
