But when you go away with the county, you miss the club. You miss your best friends, the craic, the local grounds.
You miss the jaunt down to training, a stone's throw away, and you miss the endless kicking around afterwards with no other plans or worries. With the club, it's all about the journey.
When you grow up, when you venture further, you get this sense of pride that you never had before - a contentment of where you're from and your sense of belonging to that place.

But, really though, it's all about the club. Right?
