group of lads, only winning one Allireland, you probably would be disappoint­ed. Especially after winning one in 2014.” O’donoghue was once the answer to a pub quiz question; he won an All-star before an All-ireland. That statistic annoyed him and he was determined to win in 2014. He craves a second Celtic Cross now to add to his collection but is realistic too and admits he needs to stay fully fit first. The trouble for O’donoghue is that there’s an ultra talented bunch of ex-minors kickstarti­ng their own careers, many of whom play in attack.

O’donoghue said: “I want to play with these fellas, to improve them, for them to improve me. “If you can connect with them and have a relationsh­ip with them, you can both improve. You know how to play the game, to build a relationsh­ip with a fella just like that.”
