Justin O’Halloran: There’s a shock coming in New York

It’s not cockiness or over-ambition, Justin O’Halloran maintains, that imbues his message to his players ahead of Sunday’s Connacht preliminary round against Roscommon in Gaelic Park. But belief. Sheer belief.

“A minute to go and we are five points up — that’s what we’ve been breeding into them for the last three months,” says the Cavan native.

“Five points up with one minute to go and not losing. Well sure, you have to be confident. There’s not much point if you’re not. We have the players. It’s just a matter of whether on the day we can produce it.
