Happy? Actually I’m quite disappointed

A WINNING championship debut for Pat O’Shea didn’t elicit the reaction one would expect from the Dr Crokes man in Fraher Field yesterday.

You’re disappointed, it was suggested, to gales of laughter, but he was.

“To be honest about it, I thought the performance in the second half was poor. We put up a good score in the first half and in some respects that gave us breathing space. Maybe the experience the guys have gained over the last few years meant they might have decided ‘we have to pull up a small bit here’. But there will need to be improvements for the final.”
