In the championship, he put in some great performances, including two Man of the Match awards against Kerry in the Munster Senior Football Championship final and Donegal in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter final. Cork were beaten in the semi-final by a rejuvenated Kerry team. In 2007 he was part of the Cork side that reached the final of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship to be beaten by Kerry again in the final.
