Ciarán Joyce’s right hand was bloodied without the bandages but as the Mick Mackey Cup was being passed around him in the stand also named after the Limerick great the beaming smile on his face told no story of pain.

It was in such stark contrast to the despondency he wore coming off the same Gaelic Grounds field 20 days earlier after Cork were trimmed by 16 points.
