Micheál Donoghue ‘a players’ man. Players want to succeed for him’

Vincent Mullins is decking the front garden in maroon and white. He’s the last to do so on this particular stretch of Ardrahan road. There’s a heightened sense of excitement around these parts, what with Jonathan Glynn living next door and all.

Glynn wasn’t the purpose of our call, but it wouldn’t make sense to allow the conversation pass without mentioning the 6’4” man-mountain.

Mullins is one of four men, along with Glynn’s father, Martin, looking after the Ardrahan seniors and is effusive in his praise of the 24-year-old’s dedication to both club and county this year, Glynn having made many a trip across the Atlantic to pull on either the maroon of Galway or the blue of his native club.
