We were above in Ballyshannon for the League game this year and I was looking around me, I’d never been there before, and I mightn’t be there again. At the end of June 2024, Kerry and Derry stunk Croke Park out in an All-Ireland quarter final. If that wasn’t the nadir, the All-Ireland final of the same year involving Galway and Armagh cleared the house for good. We played a game against Derry in Croke Park, we won the game, but it was a dog of a game, tough to watch, tough to be involved in it. “Well, it’s not all about winning, but you get more of a kick where there is good football, pace and honesty in the game, good scores.
