Cork's performance in the league final against Tipperary showcased their exceptional skill. By scoring 3-16 in the first half alone, they set a high standard for themselves, overshadowing Clare's entire performance in the previous final against Kilkenny.
Judge Ashley Banjo told Ferdinand: "I'm so proud of you, man, because what's always set you aside, for me, is your care, your commitment and the heart that you put in, not only to the performance, but into the process."
