Shane Carthy: ‘Struggling’ St Vincent’s still getting the job done

St Vincent’s are either ultra experienced and deliberately playing within themselves or a tired team that’s there for the taking.

Rhode, their AIB Leinster club football final opponents on Sunday week, will be banking on the latter as they chase down a breakthrough title and revenge for defeat to the Dubliners in 2014.

Vincent’s midfielder Shane Carthy accepts that the 2008 and 2014 All-Ireland champions have been “struggling along” in recent weeks but also pointed to the bottom line — they’re still winning games.
