Stephen Rochford relishing a return to simpler times

Stephen Rochford’s pathway from Mayo to Donegal wasn’t exactly straightforward.

Still isn’t. The trip from home in Crossmolina to Convoy for training sessions with Declan Bonner’s squad takes in Enniscrone, Sligo, Bundoran, Ballyshannon, Donegal Town and Ballybofey. All told, it’s a five-hour round trip but it was complications in his own county that prompted him to point the car northwards in the first place.
