U-turn put Donegal back on right road

Picture the scene.

Neil McGee and Michael Murphy are making the long trip from Letterkenny to the capital last September. They are coming through Monaghan when the latter’s phone chimes.

McGee takes it: “We were heading down to Dublin in the car one day for Compromise Rules training and somebody texted him through that we needed to get this sorted and Jim was hesitating about whether to stay or go. Michael turned the car around and went back up the road to get it sorted. It was probably the best decision we ever made.”
