For the local club landscape, for the Cork dressing-room, for the general pundit, for entertainment, excitement and interest, a first-time finalist in Kanturk would be fantastic.

As someone who comes from a traditional club in Glen Rovers, I never won a county, but we were reared on a diet of getting to finals.
