Donnelly delivers the performance of a lifetime to deliver an incredible ninth Tyrone title for the Trillick club.
Declan Bogue FOR SO MANY years, Matthew Donnelly has been the Fear Láidir of the Trillick St Macartan’s team.
When the Trillick team came to training, Matthew along with Michael Gallagher and Simon Garrity, would already be in the gym going through their rehab exercises. “There were a lot of factors during the year that you were just piling them up and thinking, ‘that’s another motivation, another motivation,’” explains Richard Donnelly.
“Subconsciously, that sends a message to our group that they’re committed to the group and the type of leaders and characters they are, they still had a huge impact on that performance out there. We love them to bits and we are so happy to do that for them.” As a player, he himself won five championships. As a coach, every player in Trillick would have passed through his guidance at some point, as well as all the other numerous roles he filled in the club. You cannot replace men like that, you just learn to cope without them.“We have had a lot of big characters that we have laid to rest in the club this year.
