Brendan Rogers is a key man for 12-in-a-row Derry champions Slaughtneil as they bid for another Ulster club hurling title this weekend.
Brendan Rogers says that the Derry footballers will have to take a back seat while the Slaughtneil hurlers bid for major honours.
"Traditionally, and what it probably will be, is that you stay with your club until such time that it's over,” said the 30-year-old, who was chosen at midfield on last year's All Star football team. “Even with the Glen lads and stuff in years gone by and I suppose with ourselves getting a few runs in the football, you just stay with your club.
"Massively,” Rogers acknowledged. “We've had a lot more dual sessions now. Paul, being the GAA man he is, he would have come and watched football sessions, knowing that the hurling was on after. When hurling was over first, then he would have stayed to watch.
