Tenacious Cork defender Niall O'Leary thankful for huge Rebel support as county seek to end a 19-year wait for All-Ireland glory
Niall O’Leary says players eager to create ‘our own history’ for Cork hurling“We want to do something that we’ll be remembered for. We’re not going to be remembered for what we did against Limerick. Hopefully we can do something in the final that we will be remembered for.”
Niall O'Leary: ' If you look at where we were after losing to Clare in the second round, it’s unbelievable to see how far we’ve come since.'

That element has caused a lot of fellas to really push on and get over the line in different games that we might not have got over the line in before.”
“These kind of fast tempo puckouts are a huge part of the game now,” says O’Leary. “As a defensive group, we really kind of pride ourselves on trying to keep a clean sheet in games and when Pa is doing things like that, you could see when he made the saves against Limerick, the kind of celebrations during the game just shows how much we appreciate it from him.”
