McAleenan has homework thoroughly done on DCU

As a retired high school teacher it should come as no surprise that Barney McAleenan has his homework done. Thoroughly done, at that.

When asked to assess opponents DCU ahead of this afternoon’s Sigerson Cup semi-final, the UUJ manager proceeds to list off their entire starting team, and the substitutes he expects to be sprung from the bench.

From one to 15, he names each player without pause, before adding in their native county and a general comment on the player’s ability.
