Dublin test will call for Mohan's Truagh grit

Mohan’s mullet is gone now, but the battering ram remains. Dublin need to be wary of his Truagh grit.

LAST Saturday the Truagh Gaels club in Monaghan held a fundraising auction with one particularly eye-catching prize on offer – one day’s hard labour from Gary Mohan.

In the end, auctioneer Martin McCarron managed to wrestle €1400 for Mohan’s services, two bidders agreeing to half a day’s work for €700 apiece. That sum will seem like a pittance compared to what Oriel fans would give to see Mohan and co. power past Dublin in Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final and into only their second-ever decider after their 1930 defeat at the hands of Kerry.
