‘If there were wrongs, we wanted to rectify them’ says Imokilly's Fergal Condon

It was at the very home of Sunday’s opponents when the wheel finally began to turn for Imokilly.

A pleasant Monday evening in June of 2015, Imokilly versus UCC. For the winner, a place in the Cork championship proper. UCC, most likely. They, after all, had Kilkenny’s John Power, Mallow’s Cormac Murphy and Waterford pair, DJ Foran and Tom Devine, among their ranks.

Imokilly, on the other hand, weren’t in the rudest of health. Not since 2009 had they been spotted in the championship proper. Indeed, in 2014, it had been the hurlers from West Cork, Carbery, who put an end to their involvement in the colleges/divisional section.
