O’Donnell not happy with wides count

“WE made it harder for ourselves than was necessary.”

That was the summation of Ballygunner manager Niall O’Donnell following his side’s victory over Drom-Inch yesterday.

“Someone said we had 16 wides and we’re not happy with that, gives us a lot to work on. At least we put ourselves in position to get the scores, which is a positive from that. With a bit of luck those balls will go over the bar the next day. It was very uncharacteristic for Páidí [Pauric] Mahony to miss those frees, you see him in the summer and he’s exceptional, Brian O’Sullivan likewise.
