Antrim hurling boss Dinny Cahill - back up North for a second stint - has revealed how having a Cork man as company on the road has finally stopped him feeling sorry for himself.

The Tipp native's recruitment of Blackrock, Cork man Bobby Thornhill as a member of his backroom team has afforded him company on his 171 mile one-way trip from the Premier County to the Glens of Antrim for training.

"We're talking about madness and travelling," Cahill explained. "The one good thing about it this year is when I'm home, Bobby Thornhill has another hour and a half to go!

"I used to feel sorry for myself, but when I think of Bob, I don't any more." Tweet
