“Oh definitely not,” comes the reply from Éire Óg manager Harry O’Reilly when asked if consolidation of their Premier Senior status is enough for him and his players in this the Ovens club’s first top-flight season.

It was only four months ago when Éire Óg, for the first time in the club’s history, acquired top-flight Cork football championship status. And with the group stages for the 2021 season already drawn when O’Reilly’s charges secured 2020 honours, Éire Óg’s reward for victory in the delayed Senior A county final was to be lumped into the West Cork group of death alongside Castlehaven, Carbery Rangers, and Newcestown.
