"The transition is gas," Cummins said. "You go from a county set-up where there's 25-30 training every night. And then you go back to where training is down for half seven and it's only quarter to eight or eight before you get going."There could be just eight or nine or 10 lads. So you could say there's a bit of patience involved in that. At the same time, because we went back junior a couple of years ago, we were then in a grade we felt we could win. And suddenly more guys came to the pitch and we're getting the benefits of that now."

I had played outfield in conditioning games with Tipperary the previous year so you do get to a level where you're moving that bit faster, so I suppose that was probably a carry-over. And then it was just one of those days where everything just went right.
"I played out the field because I didn't want to play in the goals having retired. Because if I was playing well in the goals I would have regretted my decision to leave Tipp. So I said I'd go out the field and there would be no hope then of saying I should have stayed another year or anything like that."Because I suppose my philosophy had always been you should leave a year or two early from the inter-county set-up. There's no good waiting until you've gone stale. That's the rule of thumb I worked off. So I played out the field and it worked out fine and then I was back in goals the following year."

An interesting take. Results in the first weekend of the Munster SHC went as everyone thought they might, with Clare beating Waterford, and Cork taking down Tipperary. However, the performances may have surprised some, with the Déise looking strong in defeat, while All-Ireland holders Tipp were lacklustre. Premier boss Liam Cahill acknowledge as such after […]
