Whether it was quite as long as is the current chasm I am unsure, but, in an effort to re-invigorate his then charges in readiness for the battle with the two…

Newman calls time on Royal service
Kilmainham’s Mickey Newman tonight announced his retirement from inter county football. The languid, accurate forward previously stepped away in 2020 in an effort to recover from a succession of injuries which blighted his career but returned to the fold last season. Very similar to Brian Stafford in style of play and place-kicking, Newman was part…
