It’s time to get back in the saddle, I guess.
As I do so, I’d just like to thank everyone for all the messages posted here, as well as the texts and emails, commiserating with me and the rest of the family on our loss. Those kind sentiments mean a lot, at what is obviously a difficult time for us.
But, of course, life goes on and an interesting weekend on the club Championship front lies ahead. I’m looking forward to being at a few of these pivotal contests this coming weekend. It’ll be good to see at first hand the cut and thrust of some proper club action once again.
Mike and Rob obviously kept the fires blazing with all the great podcast content over the last few weeks. More of the same will be on the way too ahead of and after the weekend’s Round 3 fixtures.

Hi John. I haven't had much chance to read the blog in a while. But I'm just realising that you said a sad goodbye to you dear mother. Nothing compares to the love and binding strength of a good mother. I wish her peace from her struggles and the journey of life. And I also wish you and all your family the blessing of love and happy memories.
Go dtuga Dia slán dí.
