‘On Sunday, we were the only story in town’
Donegal’s Jim McGuinness on beating Antrim: “It felt like more like a defeat than a victory.”
IT’S Tuesday evening in Letterkenny at O’Donnell Park, the home of St Eunan’s GAA club. Jim McGuinness has arrived to talk football. For a long-time student of gaelic games and sports psychology, a six-point win against Antrim in the minefield province of Ulster should’ve been seen as a commendable championship debut. On Sunday, that spluttering 1-10 to 0-7 win was Donegal’s first in the Ulster championship in four years. Those losses were before McGuinness’s conscription as senior manager, but he was left to pick up the pieces.
