Damien Cahalane admits to finding himself torn between football and hurling.
Cahalane served Cork as a dual county last year but has declared for the hurlers only for 2015. On Saturday, he was superb at full back as the Rebel County defeated Clare in the Waterford Crystal Cup.
"Cork is a county that wants to be competing at both codes. With my family being football-orientated traditionally and me growing up in the city where it was mainly hurling, you'd be torn between the two," the Castlehaven / St Finbarr's clubman tells The Irish Independent.
"It was a tough decision to make. At the moment, it's hard to make a call but I'm enjoying my hurling and I'll keep training and see how the year goes.
"On the nights that you are off, you can go and work on something individually in the alley or, if you feel you need to be a bit stronger, go to the gym an extra night a week or do an extra bit of running.
"It just gives you that bit of an opportunity that you don't have to be jumping between the two, but it's very early in the year to be calling it yet."
