1. Earliest GAA memory -Travelling to Errigal games with my uncle and granda. 

2. How much time do you give over to GAA each week? Can you give us a breakdown of an average week? – during the season generally only train 2-3 times per week with a game at weekends. 

3. The best GAA venue you have been to? Without a doubt Dunmoyle

4. School participation and/or success. I played in spells with the school teams, St Ciarans Ballygawley, with some success winning from memory 2 Ulster medals. Even made an appearance in the the u16 Ulster final thanks to Mr Cunningham. 

5. Club/ County role models that you looked up to as a youth – As a youth I always admired Pascal Canavan in the way he could control a midfield and rise for a kick out. 

6. Other sports that you played or had an interest in. – I am a keen Liverpool supporter but will watch most sports really. 

7. Most difficult opponent you have faced in club football and why? Daniel Millar for obvious reasons.

8. Best player you have ever seen play Gaelic football – Jack McCaffrey.

9. Are you happy enough to see the restart of club and county activities?

Yeah getting people back to some normality is important, whilst keeping our health and safety a priority I do not see any issues with it. 

10. The best GAA match that you ever saw.

Too many to pick from.

11. Are you a fan of academies/development squads? Why?

No, because there is no continuity between squads and each manager has his/her own beliefs on Gaelic football. 

12. Your own involvement around the club. – At present very little but I will get back involved someday. 

13. How important is the GAA in your community?

Today I feel it has a greater purpose as it allows people to get back outdoors and gain some normality back in their lives.

14. Favourite county jersey (not Tyrone) Fermanagh.

15. What are your main strengths as a footballer?

Not sure I have any you could say are strengths but if I don’t have to run too far I have a decent pair of hands on me.
