MICKEY HARTE

may have had a point in his dissing of ‘marquee’ forwards this week, arguing that what top teams really need is a spread of scorers. On that basis, he has what he needs as last month’s semi-final win over Monaghan must surely have set a new record. All 30 players that started the game, including both goalkeepers, had scored in this summer’s Championship which might be most useless but impressive stat you will stumble upon this week.
