Throughout the summer, he’s been up and down for either Ferbane or Belmont, following on from a winter and spring when he did the same for the Offaly hurlers. Fox admitted that Ferbane “stumbled through the group stages”, adding that in addition to the narrow defeat to Shamrocks, both Durrow and Edenderry should have beaten his side. And if they don't, Leon Fox will be back on the road next year anyway.
