ULSTER CHAMPIONS NOT CAMERA SHY AHEAD OF DAUNTING CHALLENGE

- BY PAUL KEANE

KEVIN CASSIDY claims

All-ireland club semi-final opponents Corofin recorded one of the Ulster champions’ recent challenge games.

Gweedore played St Brigid’s of Dublin in a recent friendly and Cassidy claims Corofin heard about it and made sure they had ‘two or three cameras’ to record it.

Cassidy’s claim comes just weeks after the Leeds United spy-gate controvers­y which boss Marcelo Bielsa owned up to.

Cassidy said of Corofin: “Definitely, in my opinion, they are the best. That’s not me talking them up. They won it last year, they’ve been here four or five years recently.

“When you’re preparing for a team, you look into them and they leave nothing to chance. We came up to Dublin to play St Brigid’s in a challenge match and they had two or three cameras there filming it.

“They have everything tied down. That’s why they are at the top, because they leave nothing to chance.”

Cassidy admitted he and club mates rang Dubliners James Mccarthy and Eamon Fennell as well as some Crossmagle­n players for advice on coping with the long gap between the provincial final and this weekend.

He said: “Corofin know what to do, they know how to approach it, they don’t have to ring anyone because they’ve been here before so it’s a massive advantage for them.”
