For at least one member of the Stack family, it was a fruitless trip to Croke Park last Sunday and the obvious hope is there won’t be another for the entire clan this weekend.

John Stack, father of St Brigid’s players Brian and Ronan, hails from Listowel, as does the Roscommon club’s manager Jerome, although they are no relation. Seeing Arva finish the Junior Club final in style against Emmets obviously hurt John. “Yeah, he was up there at the weekend,” said Brian. “He was disappointed alright, but he has a good one to fall back on now this weekend.”
