'We felt this can't be the way football has gone' - Aidan Fennelly is rowing against the tide

Aidan Fennelly is committed to changing the mindset of Gaelic football, reflecting on how modern strategies often lead to defensive play, which he finds unsatisfactory. He emphasizes the need for an attacking style that engages players and spectators alike, moving away from the ‘blanket defence’ that has dominated recent games.

After suffering a disappointing loss in the county final, Fennelly remarked, 'I want to bring back the excitement and flair to Gaelic football. We need to put the emphasis back on attacking play; it's time for teams to express themselves instead of hiding behind defensive structures.' He sees potential in his players to achieve this.
