Imokilly have nothing won yet and so the conversation hasn’t really sparked. That’ll all change should their captain Ciarán O’Brien climb the steps of the South Stand sometime before 6pm on Sunday.

It’s a conversation that is utterly predictable. It’s a conversation that nobody is remotely interested in when Imokilly are not contending. It’s a conversation that begins to catch fire the second they are.
