The comeback is on…
I know I have a lot on my plate but something I say a lot (as a joke) is that I’ll make a comeback in football.
This year in May at the age of 31 I decided to do just that. I had a call form the Manager of Salthill Devon FC in Galways manager asking about young players I might know (I’ve coached Eircom U21 level for the last 3 years) and eventually the conversation turned to me coming along to help pass on some experience to younger players. As this is a year for going for it I agreed. Why not?
They’ve entered the League of Ireland A Championship which is a new national senior league below the Eircom League First Division and has all the reserve teams from the Premier division clubs, as well as other clubs looking to make a step up. The winner can play off with the bottom club in the First division for promotion. So pretty decent.
I got off to a good start, had a stinker against Shamrock Rovers and since then have spent most of the time with a calf injury. I’m fully recovered now and ready for action in a friendly this weekend.
I’ll be bringing you more regular updates of “the comeback”, my training and trials and tribulations as the season progresses.
Stay tuned…
The Hat is back!
