No solo glory for Mulcahy

PERCEPTION isn't everything, but it's close. There are those, for example, who would look at the current Newtownshandrum team.

They look at its searing pace and slick stickwork, and reckon that because he can't match his higher-profile team-mates in either department, wing-forward Donal Mulcahy is limited.

Then there are those in the know, those close to the team, who look at Donal Mulcahy and see a ball-winner, an intelligent hurling man, an utterly unselfish team player critical to the Newtown game-plan, who see, in fact, the consummate club player. More important than either of those views, however, what does Donal Mulcahy see?
