Mark McHugh describes what it is like to play football in heavy snow.

The Donegal star was part of a crack IT Sligo side that defeated Queens in Belfast last night in a round 1 Sigerson Cup tie that was played in blizzard conditions.

"It was one of the most difficult games I have ever played in anyway. Everytime you ran the snow was catching to your boots, it felt like you were carrying two weights on your legs," said McHugh.

"The ball was catching snow, it was like rolling a ball for a snowman. It was very, very difficult."
