John Martin: Slaughtneil should explore McGurk option

BUSY TIMES…Slaughtneil must think outside the box

“It would provide at least three games of reasonable quality close to home in the space of three weeks with the added bonus that there will be no arrivals back home at 2am on a Monday morning.”
