These clubs are fighting for the holy grail

Are Michael Daragh McAuley or Barry Moran the most important people in Castlebar and Ballyboden this week?

To many the answer is yes, yet to anyone else in the know they are just big cogs in the many wheels that keep a club turning out teams, never mind preparing to challenge for the holy grail of club football.

Anyone ever heard of Seamie Murtagh or Paddy ‘The Bishop’ McNamee? Probably not, but I can tell you now that without guys like them we would not have won six All-Ireland club titles in Crossmaglen.
