Gallagher puts club before county call

RAYMOND Gallagher will make no decision on his inter-county situation until St Brigids’ club championship campaign has come to an end.

Gallagher announced last week that he would not be playing with his native Fermanagh this season, citing, among other reasons, the failure of the county to retain the services of highly-regarded trainer Marty McElkennon.

McElkennon has since joined Eamon Coleman at the helm in Cavan, and his defection prompted Dominic Corrigan to step down as manager. Gallagher says he will weigh up his options, and decide his future in the inter-county game when Brigids’ successful season eventually ends.
