“My house is directly across from the GAA pitch in Gaoth Dobhair so just like he used to do with me for years when I was playing, I now see him spending hours upon hours with those younger lads practicing their shooting or free-taking.
This work is done early morning or late at night under the floodlights and far away from any prying eyes.”
