In his father's footsteps! Longford and Clonguish star Jack Duggan impresses on Roscommon debut

Clonguish star Jack Duggan impressed on his Roscommon senior debut on Friday evening in the Connacht FBD League quarter-final against Sligo at the University of Galway Connacht GAA AirDome in Bekan, Mayo.

Duggan chipped in with two points from play in a comprehensive 1-21 to 0-15 victory for the Rossies.

He played for the Longford senior football team in 2022 when Billy O’Loughlin was in charge and in November he scored 0-9 as Clonguish crushed Killoe by 0-25 to 1-6 to retain their Longford U-21 'A' championship crown. 

Duggan is eligible to play for Roscommon and he declared to switch under the GAA’s parentage rule. His father Derek Duggan is a former Roscommon forward of considerable quality, winning a Connacht title in 1991.
