Writing on these pages recently the excellent sports journalist, Conan Doherty, reflected on the heartbreak that surrounded his beloved Steelstown Brian Og’s failure to collect their first senior men's football title. The Ogs, of course, going down in heartbreaking fashion to the men from Greenlough in this year's intermediate final. Achieving what all good writers should, he prompted a fair bit of reaction and reflection from those who were lucky enough to read his piece. No more so, than myself.
