Gaffey: We can shock Cross

Listening to John Gaffey, you’d swear he’s been here before but the 27-year-old will lead out Garrycastle in their first ever All-Ireland Club SFC final in two days.

But don’t think for a second he’ll be overawed by the occasion, the venue nor the opposition that Crossmaglen present. Bolstered by his belief that Garrycastle are a big-game side,pointing to their semi-final win over neighbours St Brigids as evidence, and accepting they have “surpassed all expectations” he is confident.

“I had a feeling coming up to the semi-final that kind of occasion, the big crowd and buzz around, was made for players and I think they showed that it was.
