Meath goalkeeper Paddy O'Rourke admitted that returning to pre-season training with Meath in icy Dunganny so soon after playing in the International Rules test in Perth takes a bit of getting used to.

"I stepped out onto the pitch and there was frost on the ground. I was thinking two weeks ago, it was beaches, sun, coffee and shorts," he said.

"Now it's tights, under armour and woolly hats - and back to pre-season."
