O’Sullivan encouraged after lasting the distance

Not since 2012 has Cork hurler Paudie O’Sullivan had a full year free of injury interruptions.

Having sustained a double-leg-break in the spring of 2013, his recovery was further complicated and it meant that it wasn’t until last summer that he was able to play for the Rebels again.

In cameos such as coming off the bench to score a goal against Limerick in the Munster final, O’Sullivan showed flashes of what Cork had missed and he is eager to make up for lost time.
