Trek from 30 degree Dubai to Castlelyons is no sweat, insists Spillane

Saturday was Anthony Spillane's fifth trip home from the Emirate state in nine weeks, and there's more to come as the Cork club annexed a Munster club title in style

GOAL: Anthony Spillane nets one of his three goals in Saturday's Munster Club IHC final against Corofin in the Gaelic Grounds.

ANTHONY Spillane flew home from Dubai last Friday and returned there Monday. The criss-crossing between Castlelyons and the Emirate state has become part of his weekly schedule.

The weekend's Munster Club IHC final was his fifth over-and-back in the past three months where he put down a 21-hour round-trip in order to lend a considerable hand to the local hurling effort.
