What was the story with Duggan? Badly treated in Longfird and not given a chance or just wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps who was a fantastic footballer for us. Not sticking the knife in or anything just curious?

Previous manager was the issue where a fall out in college followed into the county set up.
Another talented forward left at the same time as Duggan.
He is no longer in the country. Two huge losses to our county team.

Fair play to the lads on a powerful win yesterday. Under a lot of pressure and pulled out a very strong win to put us back in contention. Manager and players deserve the credit. I don't think we will be in the shakeup for promotion, but this year is about trying lads out and trying new things and getting a mix that works. Lots of positives from yesterday.

The latter, though some who want to stir things will argue the former.

Jack played underage for Longford all the way up and was on the senior panel for three years getting very little game time.
It is not stirring to say the reason he left was because of how he was treated
