From first to last line of defence for Gillis

BARRY GILLIS didn’t expect to be playing in an All-Ireland semi-final this year. Or, if he allowed himself the dreams back in the winter, he certainly didn’t imagine himself keeping goals.

That is where Gillis will be on Sunday. Derry’s last line of defence against a Kerry attack that flinted whatever bluntness was in their game against Dublin.

Gillis will be standing tall against Cooper, Ó Cinnéide and O’Sullivan.
