What is your earliest memory of being coached in Cuala?

One early memory is that of arriving down to Hyde park on a Sunday after mass and having to wear my good shirt for the session as I had forgotten a training top. I might have been 6 at the time.

If you were going to war in the morning what two players would you want by your side? Davy Cunningham and Andrew Browne

Walking behind the band in the 2012 county final when we still had a chance to win.
