‘Loose words’ from Donegal player spurred Tyrone on

GAA: Niall Morgan has revealed that ‘loose words’ from a Donegal player at half-time spurred his side on in the second-half.

The Tyrone goalkeeper revealed that as the sides departed the pitch at half-time, one Donegal player said ‘We’ll beat this team of individuals.’

He told The Irish Examiner, that presumption couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Morgan said, “When we were going in at half-time we heard someone from the Donegal side shout, ‘We’ll beat this team of individuals.’

“We’re no team of individuals. We’re a massive team, we’re a unit. We go everywhere together, we do everything together.

“People talk about being over-trained – we can’t get enough training! We love it.

“We love being together, that’s what wins you games.”

Morgan also added that it was nice to exercise his demons and get one over on Donegal, after the taunting he got in Ballybofey in 2013.

“It was a chance for me to get a bit of redemption after 2013 in Ballybofey.

“I reacted stupidly to the crowd, I learned my lesson and I’ll never do that again.

“It’s great to move forward and I have a bit of confidence in myself.”
