If you were throwing a party and you could invite anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would you ask around?

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron. Get some High School Musical on.

Where do you like to go out to celebrate after a big victory?

Gucksy’s garage and then Walshe’s Hotel

If you weren’t playing GAA what would you be at?

In the kart (bed)

What’s the worst pitch you’ve ever played on?

St Paul’s for the Ulster Minor Tournament. Purely due to the weather as it meant the 1m long studs needed to be brought out.

Which character in any film are you most like?

Hmm, I see myself very similar to Zac Efron and Channing Tatum, looks wise anyway. However, realistically I’m the spit of Napoleon Dynamite, haha.

Any odd items in your kit bag?

A butt load of chicken goujouns

What’s your preferred brand of gear?

Adidas errrthang. Then whatever gloves my ma puts in the kitbag (breathe sports/murphys).

Who’s the biggest joker in the teams you play for?

Ciaran McFaul and Stevie O’Hara for Glen. A bad combination when they’re together. Then the two Kearneys, Patrick and Francis. Dont think I’ve heard a line that they haven’t cursed or said something positive.

Which team mate has the best looking other half?

Jordon “branches” Martin. Never knew the man would be tied up.

Who is the worst trainer?

Jack Doherty. Lucky to see him on the field once a month

Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room?

Jordon Martin. Has to be perfect before he goes out but it works for him because his appearance matches his performance.

Who’s the best/worst person to share a room with on away trips?

Best person is Conall Darragh. Not a word spoke because he’s never done texting women. Worst would be the two Kearneys because you’re lucky to get 10 minutes of sleep

Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus?

Conall Darragh is best because hes so small. Worst is Jack Doherty. He’s a serious unit and he’s already paying a mortgage

Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include?

Tiarnan Flanagan has the worst because his diet 365 days a year is a daily milk bar and Squashies. Best diet on the team is Odhran McKeever. Consists of goujouns and more goujouns.

Toughest opponent you have faced?

Ciaron O’Hanlon

Best or worst quote you’ve heard, either from a manager, player, opponent?

Best quote “take your points and the goals will come” John Hegarty drilled that into us during the Primary School Tournaments

Best manager you’ve ever played under?

If I was to choose one I would pick Eddie Doherty who managed our u10 Glen team to win the Carryduff cup. “Youll never beat the Watties”

Best ever performance?

In the Ulster Minor Semi Final vs Donegal. Scored 8 points and didn’t even recognise I did until a teammate told me in the changing room as I got concussed midway through the second half and couldn’t remember it. haha.

One to forget?

All Ireland Semi Final vs Kerry.

When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be?

Idol was big Fergal Doherty. Still is!

If there was a transfer market who’d be in and who’d be out of the team?

Conor McManus would be in and Ryan Dougan would be out. No hamstrings.
