O’Shea not ready to throw in the towel
That is not to say he is ready to throw in the towel, though. While conceding that McMahon is in the driving seat, O’Shea says he has no intention of giving up the chase —... even if his quarry is almost out of sight.
“I have only a small chance of catching Clem, but that won’t stop me trying. To put it in perspective, I need to win this weekend and have Clem gain no points, or, very little, to have a chance,” said O’Shea, who is based in Paul Clarke’s yard in Loughshinny, near Skerries, Co Dublin.
