McConville says professional ethic back at Crossmaglen

CROSSMAGLEN veteran Oisín McConville has made a thinly-veiled swipe at the club’s management last season, insisting current bosses Tony McEntee and Gareth O’Neill have brought back a more professional ethic into the senior panel.

The two-time All Star claimed his eighth Ulster club crown in Cavan on Sunday, 15 months after he considered retiring following Rangers’ defeat to Pearse Óg in a county quarter-final.

Manager Donal Murtagh, current Armagh selector, stepped down after the shock loss which denied Crossmaglen a 14th consecutive county title.
