From the stream of thoughts racing through a girl’s mind on her way to county under-16 football trials, to a boy transforming the wild field behind his house into Croke Park in his imagination; from two young people in love, with one forced to choose between football and rugby, to a gifted footballer of African heritage facing opposition from her family; and the ever-present clash between schoolwork and sporting commitments; this collection brings teenage experiences vividly to life.
