  6. Since I started in (the college) I have Freshers,Sigerson,County U21 and when I come home I’ve got Club training. Our championship is still delayed. (November) I’ve tried explaining what I’m at up in Belfast but he (club manager) doesn’t really get the meaning of what is happening!

  7. I would love to continue but with U21 county now at full pace, I can’t see how I’m gonna squeeze it in. This weekend alone I played a Sigerson game on Friday and then two County U21 games one on Saturday and then another on Sunday. I was pretty f***** after it! I would appreciate any advice on what to do.
