THANKS GUYS! RORY AND MAXI STEP DOWN FROM COUNTY TEAM

Donegal team manager Jim Mc Guinness with his assistants Rory Gallagher and Maxi Curran oversee the warm-up prior to their Ulster Senior Football Championship semi-final victory over Down at Breffni Park earlier this season

DD EXCLUSIVE: THEY helped bring us tears of a joy a year ago.

But today there can only be tears of sadness as Rory Gallagher and Maxi Curran step down from the Donegal county management team.

The affable Fermanagh man worked as Jim McGuinness’s No2 on the road to 2012 All-Ireland glory.

But work and family commitments have forced both Rory and Maxi to stand aside for the assault on Sam in 2014.

Thanks guys!
