Only so much in Gaelic football happens by design but principles and plans can take a team a long way. Look at how Louth chase and convert opportunistic goals.

Last weekend, it was Conor Grimes who fired a shot high and short. Corner-back Donal McKenny immediately took off towards the square and fought for the break. The goal proved crucial as Louth eventually secured a spot in the quarter-finals. Boom.
