Offaly's 'magician' Adam Screeney now the star attraction

The talented corner forward remembers what it was like to be the youngster rushing out to greet your heroes.

NEXT BIG THING: Offaly's Adam Screeney will aim to make an impression in an All-Ireland decider this weekend.

When they time them correctly and don’t burst through the sidelines too early, an Offaly U-20 pitch invasion is a pretty predictable thing. Hordes of young children lead the way, and in the vast, vast majority of cases, they look for the distinctive green helmet of Adam Screeney.

Because of his slight stature, the corner forward can get lost amongst his adoring fans, but he patiently takes the time to sign everything he can and take as many selfies as possible, because he remembers what it was like to be the youngster rushing out to greet your heroes.
