Éamonn Fitzmaurice can empathise with his Cork counterpart, Peadar Healy. Not many people know just how lonely a road inter-county management can be.

Éamonn Fitzmaurice ‘I like to do things the hard way’

“It is,” says Fitzmaurice, “And you can be very isolated, but in any management set-up, and I’m sure Peadar is the same with the people around him, that they all know how hard they’re working, trying to achieve. When you have that solidarity around you I don’t think you take a huge amount of notice of what’s going on outside.

“Going into the job you know that’s going to be part of it. Peadar has good experience with Conor Counihan, he’d have known that’d be part of it, but I’m sure he’s just keeping the head down and working hard. All they need is one big win and everything else is forgotten.”
