It’s been a good year so far for Brian Cuthbert, as he begins the reconstruction of the Cork team. A largely impressive league, which ended with them at its top, some scintillating attacking football from Brian Hurley and the return from serious injury of Colm O’Neill were encouraging whereas the semi-final defeat by Dublin left plenty to ponder.


Last good day: Beating champions Kerry in the 2012 Munster championship.
