PAIN AND GAIN

Fallon admits 2024 heartbreak has been useful

- BY GARRY DOYLE

RUAIDHRI FALLON insists that St Brigid's have learned from the pain of 2024.

Roscommon's champions were left stunned by a late Glen goal in that year's All-Ireland club final - a gut punch that lingered long after the final whistle.

But instead of breaking them, that moment has only hardened Brigid's. Two years on, they are back again, into a second decider in three years and a fourth All-Ireland final in 15 seasons.

For Fallon, the scars of Croke Park have not been hidden away. They have been used.

The 23-year-old said: "It's obviously a very tough experience to think back on.

"It's a feeling that none of us want to feel again in the future and hopefully not on Sunday, fingers crossed.
