Episode 3266: Corkness Live, Munster Hurling Final, An American In Cavan
When we gazed into our crystal ball ahead of our live show in the Everyman Theatre in Cork, we presumed we’d be looking ahead to a Munster hurling final coronation for Cork’s all-conquering heroes.
But by the time we spoke to Jamie Wall, and the manager and star of their last All-Ireland winning team in 2005, John Allen and Diarmuid “The Rock” O’Sullivan, they had been cowed by Cork’s 16-point defenestration at the hands of Limerick, their opponents again tomorrow.
