It was ‘heartbreaking’ playing my old club Craobh Chiarain, says victorious McGuirk

Johnny McGuirk has admitted that taking down his former club, Craobh Chiarain, to secure a breakthrough Dublin SHC final place for St Brigid’s, was ‘heartbreaking’.

The ex-Dublin minor and U21 boss has guided Blanchardstown outfit Brigid’s to their first final since 2003, as they chase a maiden win. He was on the Croabh team in 2003 when they beat Brigid’s in that final and, 16 years on, helped the Russell Park outfit gain belated revenge on Sunday.
