Glen may only have emerged from Derry for the first time in 2021, but Michael Warnock still saw a pathway to the national stage for the club.
Having retained their county title and added an Ulster title after a thrilling final win over reigning All-Ireland champions Kilcoo last month, they play Moycullen in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final, the Galway champions having also conquered their province for the first time after only recently becoming a force in their own county.
Prior to losing by a point to Magherafelt in 2019, Glen had never even contested a county final but Warnock believed the potential was there to do something when he first came through as a senior player more than a decade ago.
