Ok, if you are not aware of how sad a loser I am, and would rather be kept in the dark look away now!
A year ago today, a good old friend of mine (Andy) introduced me to a website, that has changed my life forever. A year ago today I took over struggling Division V team Pigeons XI. Lingering at the bottom of the table they faced iminent relegation. Long faces filled the pavillion, morale was down, and the performances reflected that. And now a year on, it is a different team altogether. Only two players remain from the original line up, captain Ron Keane, and wicket keeping maestro Danny Lonergan. Alongside these two stalwarts for the team, are 9 young individuals all under 20, with a promising career ahead of them. Having finished 7th in the first season, the next two seasons brought 3rd and 2nd place finishes respectively, and now as I speak Pigeons XI are fighting for promotion at the end of this season, top on equal points with Nuig CC. The stadium has been vastly expanded, the team completely reshuffled, the sponsors are happy and it would appear that Pigeons XI have a very bright future ahead! So who knows what might have happened by this time next year? lol
It's been a quiet few days!
