He got two goals against Leitrim and has that underrated ability to get a score. Was very good against Mayo and Armagh and showed brilliant composure to hit the winning penalty in the quarter-final. He got two goals against Leitrim and has that underrated ability to get a score. But he has honed his defensive play and his tackling.
