Finally looking beyond American nightmare

A year ago today, Mark Mc Govern played his first and only game for the Ulster football club in San Francisco.

When he and Emmet Scollan were picked up that June Saturday in the car of goalkeeper and treasurer, Terry Tracey, the two Fermanagh lads had only just arrived in the country. Among other goals that exciting summer, a trip to Las Vegas loomed largest.

Throughout Mark’s miraculous and inspiring recovery from the brain trauma and subsequent coma he suffered that fateful evening, Vegas remained his dream and his motivational force.
