Duffy’s day of days

Heaven. He’s in heaven.

Really he’s in Croke Park but to him he feels in heaven because only the day before, he was in Clones.

He was never going to be anywhere else. He’d missed only two Monaghan games all year: the McKenna Cup match when they were playing a shadow Donegal team and the away game to Roscommon in the league on the same weekend as Congress. All the other games: the first round of the McKenna Cup and the final of the McKenna Cup, the opening game of the league to winning the league final, Páraic Duffy was there for them all.
