From a Cork perspective, the diets we were reared on were collisions with Kilkenny and Tipperary, and coming out the right side of those tussles. I remain incredibly grateful that that was a box I was able to tick during my time in red.

At club level, though, there were many boxes I didn’t get to tick. There was no county medal. No county final against a fellow city giant. No county final appearance full stop.
