Well, my life in football currently sees me working as a physio for the Shamrock Rovers Reserve team and the Dublin & District Schoolboys League Under-13 team. For those of you that don't know, Shamrock Rovers are a professional football club based in Dublin, Ireland. We are the current League of Ireland Champions and we are the record League winners in Irish football history with a total of 16 wins to our name. As you can imagine, this keeps me very busy.
The Dublin & District Schoolboys League (DDSL) is the biggest League in Europe for underage players, both boys and girls aged from 6-18 years. They enter teams at every age group into various representative competitions where they compete against the other Leagues in Ireland. I am currently working with the Under-13 team where we have the elite players from that age group coming together to compete in the prestigious Kennedy Cup tournament. This takes place in Limerick every year and this year's tournament takes place next week, June 13-17. I will keep you up to date on our progress while at the tournament.
Preparations for the Kennedy Cup tournament are now almost complete. We will get the group together early on Sunday morning to put the last details in place and then we travel on Monday morning. Straight after DDSL training on Sunday, it will be onto the M50 motorway to head for Rovers home ground, Tallaght Stadium, where I have a reserve team game against FC Carlow in the afternoon. We currently lie in second spot in Group 2 of the League of Ireland A-Championship, which is the name of the Reserve League. Hopefully 3 points can be achieved here as we will be giving competetive debuts to a number of brand new players who have signed for the club during this transfer window. Before all that, however, we will have a training session tonight where I will assess the fitness of several players ahead of the game on Sunday and will continue the rehabilitation work that 2 of our injured players are currently undertaking.
Well, that's just a little about me to get started. I'll post more soon. I'd love some feedback so if you have any comments or questions, please post them below. Thanks.
Good luck!
Nice work!! Keep it up. Deecelt xx
