Kevin Cassidy's straight talk turned Gaoth Dobhair round

Kevin Cassidy’s straight-talking has been credited as one of the catalysts for a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for Gaoth Dobhair who will pursue a maiden Ulster club football title on Sunday after years of underachievement.

The Donegal outfit face Monaghan’s Scotstown in the provincial decider, just two years on from Cassidy’s decision to hang up his boots and his declaration that the senior team had continually failed to live up to its potential.
