Book description

 With three seconds remaining in the Super Bowl, it falls to the New York Giants' place-kicker Shaun Reedy.  He's kicked it  but no, it's gone left and wide ...' Peter, Davey, and the rest of the Dromtarry Under-11 Gaelic football team are busy training for the start of a new season when a mysterious visitor arrives in town; Shaun Reedy, ex-American footballer, gets involved with the boys' team Â- far away from the glamour, the money and the pressure that turned him off his own sportÂ- and falls in love with the GAA. When something happens in Dromtarry that changes all their lives, they discover that it's having the guts to take a shot at goal Â- whatever the outcome Â- that matters Â
Dave Hannigan is a sports columnist with The Sunday Tribune, the Evening Echo and New York's Irish Echo. He is the author of three previous books and is also an adjunct professor of history at Suffolk County Community College on Long Island.
