I said here last week that I thought that their hunger and desire would see them over the line. I also expected them to perform like they always have […]
By Michael McMullan GLEN captain Connor Carville hopes Sunday’s historic win in Croke Park will inspire the next generation of Glen players to follow their dreams.
