For the divisions of Cork, this is their week in the county championship spotlight. With clubs given a fortnight’s reprieve ahead of the sink-or-swim Round 3 fare, the divisions are front and centre.

It’s rare in an increasingly congested calendar that they find themselves such, and so they’ve got to grab the mic when it’s loitering, uncontested, in their direction.
