Derry boss vows to return but for now is stung by defeat.
A SEASON THAT BEGAN in controversy with his very appointment to the role and leaving Louth behind, went on to a National League victory in the final against Dublin and had Derry optimism for an All Ireland as high as it ever was since 1993.
Since then, Derry’s season has been out of control. This was their fourth loss in championship, but the manner of the previous losses has inflicted what could become lasting damage for this group of players.Asked for his own assessment of the season, Mickey Harte began, “I’d say it was reasonable. Obviously, if you win division one of the league, that’s something to be happy about.

There is no doubt that Harte is not ready to retire from intercounty management. He has too much tied up with it. But Derry also have a decision.He doesn’t sound like a man who is planning on stepping down.“I will be hugely disappointed and forever there will be a degree of disappointment in the days that you lose and believe that you could do better.
