Ballincollig Regional Park, one sunny Saturday morning. As his children watch proudly from the playground, a father takes his first halting steps to make friends and walks over to where two men are playing basketball.
He asks nervously, “cAN I pLaY wITh tHe sPAre ball?” They say yes. Soon I am being shite at basketball for the first time in 27 years.
