And now we can reveal the secret of Patrick McBrearty’s success on the Gaelic pitch…his hair wax.
Well until last week that is.
The 17-year-old had a superb game against Cavan last Sunday to set up next weekend’s Ulster SFC semi-final clash with Tyrone.
But what most people don’t know is that young Patrick – who won’t sit his Leaving Cert until next year – only wore gloves in the match against Cavan at Breffni Park on insistence of the management team.
A friend revealed: “Paddy likes to use his hands and isn’t a big fan of gloves.
“That’s because his favoured method of improving his grip is to rub his hair wax into his hands!”
We don’t mind what he wears next weekend – as long as he hits Tyrone for a few scores to set up an Ulster Final clash with Derry.
