Remembering that summer in Dublin when everything came together for the hurlers via IrishTimesSport
Kilkenny were the litmus test. In manager Anthony Daly’s third year, 2011, Dublin had beaten Kilkenny in the league final, a first national title since 1939 but the following championship came with retribution, as did 2012.

O’Callaghan was to the fore in the replay victory, scoring 0-4 from play as a goal by Danny Sutcliffe, who is still playing, defined the difference in the end and the All-Ireland champions were consigned to the qualifiers.
“There was the risk that we had to go out and play a Leinster final seven days later but we smelled silverware and everyone was tuned in. That week there was a ferocious training session as well – no holding back, no easing off and it set the tone for the final.
