McVeigh wants to get that Cork feeling

DOWN goalkeeper Brendan McVeigh says he’s envious of the Cork footballers who pipped him and his team-mates in last year’s All-Ireland final.

McVeigh said Down would take confidence from last year’s run to the All-Ireland final but, without silverware, it meant nothing.

“We beat some quality sides; Kerry, Kildare, so we’ll take some positives from that. It was a great run, but at the end of the day there’s nothing in the back pocket. You’d be envious of seeing Paul (Kerrigan) there with the Sam Maguire.
