‘My passion is Gaelic football but it is one thing I cannot do’

The whoops and hollers were still going strong inside the St Michael’s dressing room after they had beaten Omagh CBS in the MacRory Cup final on March 18, when captain Brandon Horan was asked to speak to some reporters outside.
During the match, the eye was drawn to the presence of former Down player Conor Laverty running onto the pitch to deliver tactical instruction, along with Tyrone player Richie Donnelly remaining seated, bringing a certain level of curiosity. Asked about their presence, Horan noted that along with Laverty and Donnelly, another motivation was at play among the management team.
