Teenage star McBrearty’s new goal is Leaving Cert points
Just 48 hours after he played for Donegal in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Dublin, McBrearty was back at Carrick VS to begin the training that he hopes will result in points next summer. The Kilcar lad turned 18 earlier this month and has had the summer of his dreams — helping Donegal to win an Ulster SFC title for the first time in 19 years in July, just two months after being drafted into the panel by Jim McGuinness. He made his senior debut in May as a sub against Antrim, having played a full game for the minors earlier that day.
Carrick VS deputy principal Mary Doherty said: “It is testament to Patrick as a person. You need a certain level of maturity to play at such a level and he showed he has that. We’re all very proud of him and it was great to see him.
