The lads played Ballinlough in the Div.2 Football League last Sunday in Ballinlough. A good test played on a very heavy pitch.
Dunderry are doing very heavy training, conducted and devised by a boxing coach of some stature.No football of consequence but fierce lifting of tractor (back wheel tyres and big lorry tyres, amongst other muscle building exercises.
Training is three times weekly, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for both hurlers and footballers,with the hurlers having a puck around on Sundays to keep the eye in under the hawkeyed coach John Joe (Whacko) Mc Gourty, who is bringing to his coaching career the same heart he displaced on the pitch in days of yore.
Dunderry won by two points in a match where it was clear that neither team had done much ballwork. Ballinlough could feel hard done by, but a win is a win is a win.
The match marked the debut in the Club of Darren Fay, former Meath great who transferred to us from Trim this year, having lived in Tullaghanstown this many years .
A great addition and living proof that there is no substitute for a man.
He is blending in well with our own men and I think we will figure again this year.
I won’t give any more particulars until things bed down, when I will give fuller reports naming names and giving ratings.
This week the club is gathering scrap metal,the value of which has soared ,all over the Parish and this will be realised for Club funds on Saturday (Scrap Saturday). Word has got out and it is a sign of the times that at least one bogus collector is going around pretending he is collecting for the club and heading off with scrap for himself.
Could you be up to them ?
Personally I may have media interviews over coming days.Am strongly thinking of just pointing to either of two adages on my fliers,”fir breaga “ or “empty Vessels”. These should cover most arguments put out by major political parties!
