Today was my birthday, however no one at Derry City FC knew, not even my flatmates. It isn’t something that I publicly announce, nor need a big deal made of it. So long as I am happy and healthy on my birthday, I deem it successful.

Also, it was just another day of training really. Long morning session, quick lunch, then a good gym session and we were done for the day. Training was decent but nothing to new or difficult. Some good passing drills to continue to focus on the little things, and then the same old possession grids. As reported earlier, there was a possibility of me going to another team until January, however that team has already signed a center back. So the manager has to look at things again and said he would reach out to another team and see whether there is an opportunity there. So the bumpy road continues, but Ill just keep training and hope that something comes my way soon.

 

My afternoon was spent responding to birthday wishes, before we went grocery shopping and I treated myself to buying New Zealand Lamb, which I cooked for dinner tonight. Very nice!! Stocked up on groceries for the next 5 odd days or so, seeing as I don’t think I’m going anywhere anytime soon.

And finally, here are the highlights from the recent 5-0 loss to Dundalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crtJcBDOje0
