GAA GAVIN'S THE MAIN MAN AT THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

Exciting times for Louth as new boss Devlin targets more success with the Wee County

- BY KARL O'KANE

GAVIN DEVLIN reckons “something is brewing in Louth” - but he says the county can't afford to “live for that one moment.”

That one moment the Wee County boss — nicknamed ‘Horse’ — is referring to St May's emotional breakthrough Leinster final victory over Meath, as they landed a first provincial title since 1957.

Devlin, who says he served “the longest apprenticeship in modern history” before taking over as Louth boss, says the county can't get complacent but he also believes “the sky's the limit.”

“From when I arrived five years ago, just on the back of Covid, playing Antrim over in Geraldines with a very small crowd to where we were over in Croke Park on May 11 and seeing that stadium full of red and smoke going up in the air, it was so emotional,” he said.

“Let's not live for that one moment. Let's build. There's the new stadium at DKIT (Dundalk).

“Honestly, the sky's the limit. Let's not get too complacent, or too adventurous. Day by day, but I feel there is something brewing here, I felt that for a long time.

“We want to ask the supporters to get behind us 100 per cent and we'll do everything we can to give them something to support.”
