Pres game-plan pays dividends

PBC head coach Don Buckley, along with his coaching ticket of Paul Barr (formerly of St Michael’s) and Highfield’s Steve Forde, have now led Pres to Senior Cup success in two of the last three deciders.

The game-plan Buckley and his coaching team brought worked magnificently, a template that resulted in a deserved win for the Mardyke school.

If Buckley brought the correct game-plan to the mix, his team carried it out to the letter, and showed a mature ability to play — what is sometimes referred to as an Eddie O’Sullivan aphorism — “both sides of the football”.
