Restless Meehan out to make up for lost time

THERE hasn’t been too many times when Michael Meehan has felt all at sea, but last summer was one of those rare occasions.

Too much time on his hands, see? A man who thinks nothing of training with up to four teams in a single week and, there he was in mid-July, without a single game to occupy his thoughts.

After an earlier defeat to Mayo with the U21s, defeat to Tyrone in the All-Ireland qualifiers had prematurely released him from county duties for the season. The club had nothing to offer either. Caltra had already surrendered their Galway, Connacht and All-Ireland crowns with defeat to Corofin in the last eight of the county championships.
