Q&A - Mark Breheny: ‘I still have some targets to fill in my career’

Mark Breheny holds the distinction of being the longest-serving player in inter-county football, having made his Sligo debut in 2000. Now 36, he has an encyclopaedic memory of the matches he’s played along the way.

Q: You’re facing into your 17th year of league football. Do you find it hard to muster the same enthusiasm as when you were starting out?

A: I still have the same enthusiasm for it. I’m looking forward to the game tomorrow against Armagh, despite all the years I’m at it. The seven matches in the League go very quickly and this year we’ve four away, which brings its own challenges. We’re just trying to hit the ground running and see where it takes us.
