Keepers now playing key role, says Morgan

Niall Morgan has come up with his own expression to illustrate just how important goalkeepers have become in Gaelic football.

Because of the new 45 metre rule for kick-outs, either the Tyrone man or Paddy O’Rourke will, quite possibly, be the most important Ireland player in Saturday’s International Rules test.

“If you look at the status of goalkeepers, it has gone from being the fat kid to being one of the key members of the team!” said Morgan.
