FUNNY how it works. The last time Cork took to Croke Park as All-Ireland champions turned out to be Wayne Sherlock’s last championship appearance for them.

At the time of that 2006 All-Ireland final, no one could have foreseen that it’d be his last big day in red and that his county would have to wait at least 18 years to regain that status.
