Lawton an ever present on Imokilly’s epic run

Meet Brian Lawton, Imokilly’s Mr Consistency. It is a title, it should be noted, which Lawton shares with John Cronin of Lisgoold — they being the two players to start each and every one of Imokilly’s championship games over the past three years.

Across their 18-game unbeaten run, which has moved the divisional outfit within one hour of a rare three-in-a-row of Cork SHC titles, 30-year old Lawton has started and finished all but two of Imokilly’s championship outings, an impressive stretch of consistency.
