Mike Quirke: Warm weather training camps work wonders

You probably saw the video posted online over the past few days of Conor McGregor ribbing the Cork senior footballers as both made their way home from Portugal. 

McGregor was after some warm weather training ahead of his rematch with Nate Diaz when he bumped into the Cork panel at the airport — who were after putting down a similar five days’ of hard graft under the blistering sun at the Oceanico resort in Amendoeira.

“Ye still won’t beat the Dubs” he bellowed in jest… but that’s the whole point I guess. You’ve got to try.
