Dublin footballer Con O’Callaghan a scoring sensation for Cuala hurlers

Imagine for a moment what it feels like to be the Dublin hurling manager watching Cormac Costello sitting on the footballers’ bench. The sight of Ciarán Kilkenny ripping it up on a more regular basis can’t be much more palatable.

“There’s a touch of torture in it alright,” admitted Anthony Daly who made big, but unsuccessful, plays to lure both dual players over to hurling when managing the Dubs.

Those former hurling prodigies at least had the good grace not to rub Daly’s nose in it like Con O’Callaghan has been doing to Ger Cunningham for the last few weeks.
