“It has to be looked at. Anybody with any ounce of brains has to look at this thing and say, we shouldn't be playing at this time of the year.'

Errigal were handicapped this year, they had so many county men, but they still ended up top of the league, and they got a trophy, a shield, for coming top of the league. To me, that would be more sensible. “Losing any forward for any team is a big loss. But, to be fair to the lads, they rallied in, they dug in, and that's what they had to do.
“It wasn't the most beautiful game of football, I'm sure you boys have ever watched, and from the sideline, it certainly wasn't. But, it's not easy playing second week in December,” said McBride. “But it was all about just getting the results, just to grind it out, see it out and see it through.”
