Cathal Mannion isn't the type of man to give much away but his eyes light up when his talismanic team-mate David Burke is mentioned.

“Davy is unbelievable, and what he's done for the jersey and his club St Thomas'. He's given so much. He's still flying it. He's just unbelievable to have around the panel and such a leader, especially for younger lads to look up to. He's a role model for younger lads to follow.”
