Brian O’Sullivan called the St Finbarr’s camogie panel to the Rochestown Park Hotel last February. Their first get-together of the year. Targets set out and ambitions aired.

The Barrs were late convening for the 2025 season. Given the campaign previous had delivered a first county in 18 years and ran to the end of October, O’Sullivan saw no need to hurry them back.
