Neil McManus: Hard border could see return to players being searched at checkpoints

Experienced Antrim hurler Neil McManus has admitted he fears a disorderly Brexit could spell a return to the days of being stopped at border checkpoints on the way to GAA games.

The Cushendall hurler, preparing for Saturday’s AIB All-Ireland semi-final against St Thomas in Dublin, said he recalls being questioned by police in Belfast merely for holding a hurley in his hands.
