Ballygunner’s Michael Mahony and Philip Mahony celebrate at the final whistle of the AIB Munster Club SHC final against Éire Óg at FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles. I think we went into the Munster final a small bit undercooked last year. “They’re 10 years down the road in terms of their preparation,” said Gerry O’Connor, the Éire Óg manager. Time and again Éire Óg forwards were outnumbered and outhustled. For Éire Óg to have any chance, those three players especially needed to catch fire.
