*Positions Played?

I have played in every position in the backline including in goal.


*Favourite game played?

It has to be the 2016 South Final against St Mary's. Everyone had us written off that year.


*Club players you looked up too growing up?

Philly Murphy and Conor Arrigan. They were like two machines in the middle of the field.

*Best players you played with?

Best hurler Lee Mackey. I’ve never seen him playing a bad match

*Best memory playing?

Again the 2016 South Final. I'll never forget the celebrations when that full time whistle went, it was unreal.


*What player trained the hardest from any squad you were part of?

Stephen Cronin and Eoghan Power. Since I started training with this panel these two boys gave their all every night and they’re still going strong now.


*Favourite pitch to play on?

Golden or The Davin Park. Two serious pitches.


*One goal you have before you retire?

I would love to help the Davins get back up to the senior ranks.


*One change you would bring into hurling?

I would give 2 points for a sideline cut. It’s serious skill to have.


*One piece of advice you would give to your younger self?

Don’t take it for granted and dont pick drink over hurling like I did a few times. You will only regret it.
