Once he was finished knocking the ball about with fellow Leesiders Adam Idah and Cathal O’Sullivan, Rob Downey turned his attention to more familiar matters and opponents.

The Cork hurlers are on the road to Ennis this Sunday. Cusack Park has not been a happy hunting ground of late. Downey interjects following the latter comment. An addendum is necessary. Cork’s recent record against Clare, no matter what the venue, has not had any happy outcomes.
