Mayo footballers sent home from Boston

Four players given their marching orders for thrashing apartment

“We certainly haven’t experienced it in the Sligo football club. Over the years we have kids come out to us that have been absolutely brilliant. We have never had any problems with them at all,” said McCarthy. 

Although, said McCarthy, he is familiar with stories of misbehaving players down through the years, they are few and far between.

“I hear some clubs complain about some of the fellas, but more so in the context that they are not as dedicated to the club as fellas that are here all the time because they are only here for the summer,” said McCarthy.

“You hear the odd story but it’s not common.”

McCarthy said bringing out young footballers to play with the various teams for the summer has been a tremendous success down through the years, and the New York GAA clubs will continue to do so in the future.

“Over the years thousands of people have spent the summer in New York with the GAA and there is no need to stop that on the basis of one apartment in Boston,” he added.
