All-Star nominee Cian Sheehan has revealed he and his Newcastle West team-mates have been training on a surface akin to “a bog”.

As a forward for his club, the Limerick defender scored three points as he glided across the Semple Stadium pitch in Sunday’s Munster Club semi-final win over Clonmel Commercials.
