December is a month on a ledge. It’s a time for looking back over the year about to pass and the point at which thoughts turn to what’s around the next corner and Keith Moynihan had a foot planted firmly in both camps at the end of last year.

Moynihan’s Mallow side had just overcome St Michael’s in the final of the Cork Senior A football final, six months after losing the delayed 2020 decider to Éire Óg, and the giddiness at their path back to the top tier was tempered with a layer of realism.
