4.School participation and/or success? St Colmans Gaelic team, training was excellent under Danny Ned Devine.

5. Club/county role models that you looked to as a youth. Danny Ball and Danny Devine at club Level. These two took no prisoners and led us well. At County Level Brian Dooher and Stephen O Neill led by example. Two of the Club’s finest who were always on hand with good advice.

10. Best GAA match you ever saw ? Tyrone v Kerry 2005 All Ireland Final
11. Are you a fan of Development Squads or Academies? Development squads encourage young players to be ambassadors for their club. It also develops younger players to let them see the commitment needed for senior football.

12. What is your own involvement around the club at present? Still playing senior football. I have also previously coached various teams from U14 to Minor. I also carry out plumbing maintenance in the two club rooms.
13. How important is the GAA within your own community? GAA is the heart of our community. It is a great support system, bringing everyone together to enjoy the sport of our country.
14. Favourite county jersey outside of Tyrone? Leitrim.

15. Are you a fan of penalties to sort out championship matches?
Definitely not. Game should be decided by the best performance on the day not just penalties.
