I think he did play for Cork at maybe intermediate level at one stage but not senior, so wouldn’t be known that way.Wasn’t good enough for county. He’s the same age as my fell, he knows him through club hurling, they are rival teams.
Edit: Yeah just double checked on a Google search and he did play intermediate hurling for Cork, a lad I know was on the team. He’s meant to be a great hurler and footballer by all accounts!
