And that gave Ring's plot some leverage.
So Shaughs had drove the Fermoy school to a Harty and Croke Cup in 2001. In 2002, he was even more of a force all this meaning he had an even brighter marker on his back.
Ring had to protect his main player though, and that's where Luke Philpott came into it.
So, he's the cut of O'Shaughnessy on the field. A corner forward of the same height, with the same helmet and on this day, with the same name on his hurl.
So Philpott lined out in O'Shaughnessy's corner and in his jersey - even had his hurl marked Shaughs and sure as hell, the first ball went arrowing into his corner.
Philpott won it and the word good, every second member of the Cashel Community College back line took a shot at him. He was levelled, shook up, when the Cashel coner back shouted out in disbelief, 'he's not Shaughs!'
Ring laughs away about it now.
"And now you had a corner back who was on a yellow card after a few minutes and was handcuffed a little bit, Andrew proceeded to do unbelievable damage," he recalls.The Kilmallock man hit three goals that day. Won the Harty Cup final against Templemore and was the main man as they defeated the mighty St Kieran's of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. His sideline that day was the winning of the game for them. There was no danger of him getting carried away with it though.
"If you actually think, 'Jesus, I'm the main man, that's when you're going to fall," he says of it now.What a brilliant Laochra Gael episode and what an inspirational man. https://twitter.com/WayneW120/status/1108498707773833217 https://twitter.com/WayneW120/status/1108486339840917507
