As the crow flies, it’s 368 kilometres from Croke Park to the UK Defence Academy in the Oxfordshire village of Watchfield.

There since August has been Cmdt Stephen Molumphy, his wife Niamh and three young children, and there in the front room of his military house he will be on Sunday, not just cheering on his county, but being part of the management team looking to bring glory to it.
