There have been only two occasions in the past eight years where Glen Rovers were marked absent when the Cork senior hurling championship reached the quarter-final stage.

Of the six seasons during this period where the Glen were still hanging about as the championship turned the bend for home, five ended with the men in green, black, and gold hooped shirts appearing in the decider.
