It’s going to take one hell of an effort to stop Cork this year from lifting the Liam McCarthy cup this year. Cork are starving to finally bring the famous trophy back to Leeside, after 21 years of a long wait.

Amazing to think it’s been that long when you think of how much hurling is a passing and nearly a religion in the Rebel county.
