Neil Ewing: Join the subculture freaks in the joy of the Sigerson Cup

In America, college sport is box office but in Ireland it is not. It should be considering the quality of players on show in the Sigerson Cup.

To quote a well-known Derry All-Ireland winner, “I met a man last week”. The man is a GAA diehard, a former player, current underage coach and a filler of most positions on his club's committee. Few games played by his club and county in the last two decades have not been attended by him. A “football man” defined.

The football man wanted to talk Sigerson Cup. It transpired his Sigerson Cup chat was actually a rant about GAAGO and the upcoming decision on 2025 TV rights.
