Openly training too.
A football team rocked up to Mary I a couple of minutes after 630 tonight, minutes after the security knocked off 
Saw a group of lads going into a soccer pitch with gear etc. Looked like a training session but just as easily be a kick around. Power to them I wonāt be ratting them out.
That reminds me actually, i was over in the Shelbourne pitch by the maternity yesterday with the dogs and there was a youth team training there.
Itās going on all over, even if itās not organised officially you canāt blame anybody for arranging something.

Whatās the matter with you lad?
Did you see them?
It was like they were waiting around the corner for the security to knock off

Not this evening but Iāve seen plenty of lads in there in the last few weeks in smaller groups so I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone chanced a larger session. Iād say the lads wouldnāt mind!
I used to know a very nice fella that did security in Mary I who died there about 18 months ago. Its a great spot, lovely mix of locals of all ages and students, will be a fantastic buzz when things get back more normal. A super amenity.

I can confirm there were two mini sessions taking place tonight in my local pitch.
One being a coached by a county coach with 4 other players. The other was 7 club players including myself being self taught.
Happening all over.

Fair play tye, great to be back at it Iād say. We need to get this vaccine yoke out and put all this shit behind us. An awful year.
Who died?
Ya itās tough. Iām at the peak of my powers now as a player but prob be in decline shortly with my age profile.
Iād love a championship like last year but main thing Iād love is to get 15+ games (leagues etc) played when we resume in June (hopefully).
Only a small thing in the overall scheme of things but Father Time waits for no one, sport (even at amateur club level) is no different.

By jaze youāre an optimist.
Nobody belonging to me, but my mother had her Breastcheck delayed and has stage 3 breast cancer so wasnāt a great year tbh palā¦sheāll be grand, but it wouldāve been better if she knew earlier with treatment and that.
It may be going on all over, but only in Cork did they knife their own.
Thatās the Prods/YMPA at the back of the maternity unless youāre referring to St Comiliceās which is beside Shelbourne Parkā¦
It says Shelbourne AFC on the gate, itās right next to the maternity, we had this conversation recently
