The latest annual report from Cork County Board chief Kevin O’Donovan is full of insight into events on Leeside and in Gaelic games more widely.

There are no awards for best annual report by a county GAA secretary. If there were, it would have been retired anyway such was the quality of Dublin’s former head honcho John Costello’s end-of-year musings.

Between congresses and pre-county conventions, Costello would keep his counsel but in those double-spaced pages of his, he gave his two cents on a variety of topics. So comprehensive, it was a review more in keeping with a director general’s report at the same time defending his constituency (and he had to do plenty of that when Dublin football was in its pomp).
