Level-headed O’Callaghan reflects on golden year

When Con O’Callaghan pauses for thought and flicks through the statistics of an incredible season, even he may be surprised at the figures in front of him, writes Paul Keane.

In the 22 major games that he’s competed in, for the various club and county teams he’s represented, the attacker experienced defeat just once.

That was while playing for the Cuala footballers against St Jude’s in the quarter-finals of the Dublin championship. Even at that, he scored four points.
