Lets get a few things striaght here:
- I love football
- I love the country I live in (Hi, Im Kyle Boyd im a Web and Graphic Designer I love it here and I love what I do… sounds familiar?)
- I love my countrys football team
So I had a major surprise to find out out that the IFA (Irish Football Association) has a Cerebral Palsy Squad. Brilliant.
The squad meets every two weeks since its formation in 2005 and is coached by the IFA Disability Football Department team of Alan Crooks and Mal Donaghy. It recently secured its first away win with a 5-1 thrashing of the Republic of Ireland. I am so excited to here about this as I always dreamed of playing football. Its probably all too late for me now but its great knowing that their is a CP Squad for those with the condition that if they want to play some great football they can.
This is in itself can only raise awareness of CP and for that I am grateful. I can only hope are boys can do the business as they prepare for the Home Nations Cerebral Palsy Tournament in England this July!
