This evening at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the current crop of Castlelyons hurlers will seek to emulate the class of ‘98

There is a picture hanging in the Spillane house of the three boys from the afternoon of the 1998 Cork intermediate hurling final.

With their dad, Mick, captaining Castlelyons that day, Anthony, Colm, and Michael - then aged three, five, and six respectively - were enlisted as team mascots.
