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

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.
