Get On The Good Foot

Before we start, dear reader, there is, perhaps, one important thing you should know.

Namely, GG really doesn’t have a feckin’ bog about football.

Growing up, whilst other kids were out shouting and screaming blue murder at each other on the pitch, GG was busy indoors. Being a rock star.

And so, when talking to the lovely Fiadhna (pronounced ‘Huh?‘), Katie and Emily this evening about their upcoming Champions play-off game against arch rivals Cabinteely, well, beyond being able to say ‘goal’ a lot, we really hadn’t a notion as to how Greystones United AFC U14s Girls have been on such a roll for the past year.

The team, we’re told, have just made the jump to the Premier Division, thanks to the conclusion of their, eh, ‘MGL Div A programme‘ – which sounds pretty impressive. We think.

A statistic we can understand though is the simple fact that the U14s Girls have so far scored a staggering 125 goals this year. Which sounds pretty impressive. We reckon.

And it’s the sort of statistic that should scare the bejiggers out of Cabinteely at Wednesday’s game in Sallynoggin. Especially given that among the Greystones team will be the bould Emily, who managed a hat trick against the vanquished St Itas last week.

So, buckle up, as GG searches desperately for the right terminology – Howzat! – and reference points to find out just why the Greystones Girls U14s are bound for title glory…
