The Midleton message: Acknowledge that final feeling, but don't let it consume you 

All about finding the balance for Midleton's man between the sticks, Brion Saunderson.

2021 was Brion Saunderson’s debut campaign between the sticks for Midleton. It ended with a county final win. Incredible feeling.

2023 brought a second county final and the other side of the coin. Not a great feeling. Brion certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Watching back said county final defeat less than a week later, he wouldn’t recommend that either.
