None of this is new. A crammed year, county running right into club, crossovers and conflicts. This is all Rory Maguire has ever known.

The Castlehaven and Cork footballer finished up the intercounty championship in the All-Ireland quarter-final in Derry at the start of July. By the end of the month, it was back to the Ahamilla Complex to take on Carbery Rangers in the opening Cork PSFC clash.
