Kneesy does it for the elder statesman of Ballincollig

When he was putting in top-class performances on a regular basis for Aston Villa and Ireland, Paul McGrath’s inability to train tended to attract wide-eyed wonder.

The conventional wisdom was that he’d be even better if he could train, when in reality it was the careful management of his issues that allowed him to peak in matches. For Ballincollig’s John Miskella, it has been something similar for the past few seasons.

Miskella (36) will represent his club in tomorrow’s Cork SFC final against Carbery Rangers in Páirc Uí Chaoimh (3.45pm) two years after he, and everybody else, thought that he had retired.
