Eoin Cadogan has put the league celebrations on hold as he bids for a famous double.

Cadogan starred on the Cork side that beat Mayo in Sunday's national football league final at Croke Park but no sooner had the final whistle sounded than he had to turn his attention to next weekend's hurling decider against Kilkenny in Semple Stadium.

"I won't be going out celebrating," he is quoted in The Examiner. "Sunday's over and done with, we got a win and it's great and all that, but we've won league finals before. Last year we won it and we were forgotten about fairly soon afterwards when we were beaten by Mayo.

"As far as I'm concerned - and the rest of the lads - it's a win and it's over and done with. I'll just focus on the hurling now for next week - Kilkenny is going to be a massive battle as well. Two finals in two weeks, it's a great place to be.

"It was physical but the weather conditions didn't help either - there was a lot of ball going astray and a lot of fellas putting their bodies on the line, so there were always going to be more collisions and physicality.

"Overall, we were delighted to get the win. We were getting caught with handpasses, balls bouncing in front of fellas were slipping away it was so wet - I don't know about the wind, I wasn't up front trying to kick points so I don't know how that was but it looked fairly awkward." Tweet
