Joe began volunteering as a medic for Antrim senior players in 1984

As a former player, Joe Dugan knows Gaelic football can be a rough and tumble sport. And even though, thankfully, you’d rarely need a doctor, it’s good to know that there’s one nearby.

The father-of-three explained: “Basically, it involves being at all the games; sorting out anything that happens on the day in relation to injuries and player welfare. “There are busy times of the year when the national league and championship are on. On match days, it’s five or six hours if it’s at home. Travelling away means a lot more hours,” he said.

With the Dugans so involved in the set-up at Antrim, it’s no surprise that Joe, who is approaching retirement age, has no plans to step away any time soon. “With the support of Fibrus, we can realise the potential that exists in Antrim for success at a provisional and national level,” he said.
