Niall Morgan's weekend hasn’t exactly panned out as he might have expected.
He ought to have been tuning himself in for Tyrone’s Ulster semi-final against Monaghan tomorrow but Derry shredded that script in Omagh a fortnight ago and so, rather than gathering last night for a final run-through, they trained on Thursday night and will get together again today ahead of relaunching their season in the qualifiers next month.
It meant that the All Star goalkeeper could attend last night’s Gaelic Writers’ Association dinner at the Iveagh Garden Hotel in Dublin in conjunction with Wilson Hartnell, where he picked up another award as the 2021 Football Personality of the Year, a nod to his excellence on the field but also his effusiveness off it.
