Mixed emotions as O’Regan focused on denying Causeway

BANAGHER College coach Gearóid O’Regan should have mixed emotions tomorrow as his side take on Causeway Comprehensive in the All-Ireland vocational schools “A” SHC final in Semple Stadium.

Mixed emotions indeed because Gearóid is a native of Ballyheigue, began his teaching career in the North Kerry school before securing a permanent position in the Offaly college 11 years ago, but he knows the side his bread is buttered and who pays the wages.

“I have a great attachment to Causeway; my father owns a pub in Ballyheigue where I spend most of my free time; my uncle John was principal of the school for 30 years and I taught there for a couple of months before moving up to Banagher.
