At just 18 years of age, Ruairi McHugh already has plenty of big game experience under his belt and he’ll hope to use that to his advantage when he leads Holy Trinity out onto the pitch at Healy Park for Sunday’s MacRory Cup final.
He was part of the Tyrone minor team that narrowly lost the 2021 All-Ireland minor final to Meath in Croke Park. Last season, he played midfield on the U20 side that defeated Kildare in the All-Ireland decider in Carrick-on-Shannon.
As he looks forward to a second successive MacRory Cup final, this time against Omagh CBS, McHugh is determined to finish on the right side of the result after losing out to St Mary’s, Magherafelt 12 months ago.
