It’s been 18 months of unimaginable highs and searing lows for the Sarsfields club. In no particular order, there was the untimely passing of both Teddy and Conor McCarthy, there was a nine-year county famine ended, a failed county title defence, and the destruction of their club grounds by Storm Babet.

On Sunday, the rollercoaster rolled on and up.  Another unimaginable high. The provincial silverware they collected for the first time is named after the man who founded their club at the end of the 19th century.
