Despite not having a football club, Down’s Brendan McGourty will feature for his county in their McKenna Cup opener against Antrim at Downpatrick tomorrow (Sunday).

McGourty has only played a few football games over the last few seasons because there are no football clubs on the Ards Peninsula and he freely admits that the small ball game is his number one sport.

"I’d have to say hurling is my first priority," the 21 year old Ballycran native explained.

And he also admits that his football experience is fairly limited.

"I only played at schools, maybe fourth or fifth year and a couple of matches for Darragh Cross, not really anything.

"Not sure what I’m doing, might join Darragh Cross or something like that.
