Listen: Colm McFadden reflects on ‘sucker punches’ as St Eunan’s exit MacRory Cup

Colm McFadden was left to rue two ‘sucker punches’ as St Eunan’s College lost their MacRory Cup play-off against St Patrick’s Academy, Dungannon.

Two goals, by Ryan McCabe and Shea Daly, in the dying moments of the first half, were key as the Tyrone school scored a 2-7 to 1-6 win at O’Donnell Park.

Conor O’Donnell netted a goal for St Eunan’s in the second-half, but those pair of goals would haunt St Eunan’s – who played a home game in the competition for the first time since 1969.

“The two goals were sucker-punches,” McFadden said.

“We were slow to start, but we were settling into it. I thought we were looking strong and looking comfortable. Our energy was starting to come through and the goal came against the run of play.”
