But, Jesus, the hurling community in the county are probably looking on at Cuala this year and thinking what might have been.
The Dublin champions are through to the Leinster hurling semi-final and it was their frightening full forward Con O'Callaghan who led the way when he hit 4-3 from play against Borris-Kilcotton from Laois.
Twice in the first 10 minutes, O'Callaghan ripped the opposition net and he hit his hat-trick before the break as he set the tone for Cuala's 11-point win.
In 2014, the student represented Dublin's hurlers and footballers in the both minor Leinster finals but he captained the footballers and, there, was where he also tasted success.
For now, O'Callaghan is very much a hot prospect with Jim Gavin's men but it doesn't mean he's any less of an idol with a hurl in his hands. After destroying Sunday's opposition, his own club members swarmed him at the final whistle desperately looking for an autograph off the hero.
You don't have to look too far for inspiration in the GAA and this picture sums up the beauty of it all.
But if he keeps playing this well, he's only going to annoy some people who'll want him all to themselves.
