Magee back and rarin' to go after lengthy lay-off

After being one of the capital’s steadiest performers during the past three lean years, Magee had to watch from the bench as Tommy Lyons’ young team finally slaked the city’s thirst for success. His face expressed as much delight as anybody else at the final whistle, but not being involved was disappointing.

“It was great to see the lads win. It was like Roy Keane missing the Champions League final,” he jokes. “I missed it, you know, you have to get on with it. It was different sitting, watching the lads and running out, grabbing them when they won. It was a different buzz, but we still won a Leinster title.”
