CRUMMIES. THAT’S the term the AFL commentators use to describe players who will work the fringes and pick up the breaks.

SEVEN years ago a Tyrone team containing men with famous football surnames like Dooher, O’Neill, Gormley, Jordan, McGuigan, McMenamin and Canavan were well beaten by Sligo (1-14 to 0-12) at Croke Park in the All-Ireland qualifiers.

IT IS a little after 10pm on Wednesday night when Sligo captain Charlie – always Charles to his mum – Harrison walks through the doors of the Westwood House Hotel on the outskirts of Galway city.
