Pat Considine at his home in Kilkenny - in the shadow of Nowlan Park - pictured in his Limerickac top getting ready for the showdown against the Cats this Sunday
When trains full of Kilkenny fans pull out of the city’s MacDonagh Station on All-Ireland final day, there will be a speck of green amid the sea of black and amber.
Caherdavin man Pat Considine has been living in the Marble City for the last 25 years. Currently, he lives within striking distance of Kilkenny GAA’s home stadium of Nowlan Park.
Despite this, he hasn't forgotten his Limerick roots, and will proudly be cheering on the Treatymen at Croke Park in Sunday's decider.
An accountant by trade, he was in Kilkenny when the county won four titles in-a-row, a feat which Limerick’s hurlers of course are looking to emulate this weekend.
“I'd have friends around Kilkenny, and there's been a lot of banter all right! They are so passionate about their hurling here, and the fact Limerick had a bad record when they were winning in the noughties... But then the last four or five years have been so good for us. It's always a conversation opener,” he smiled.
Pat has been to every one of Limerick’s recent All-Ireland final triumphs, the exception being the 2020 decider, played behind closed doors due to Covid-19.
Pat, who was educated at Christ the King Caherdavin and St Nessan’s secondary, was part of the first Na Piarsaigh GAA team to win the U21 league title, in 1990.
