Manager of Laytown United under 9s Louise Melsop

As a parent I started off cheering every weekend from the sidelines, but as luck would have it one sunny day at our Laytown United family fun day, there was a request made for volunteer soccer coaches.

I played soccer as a kid growing up, but back then female soccer wasn’t very big. At first we were aiming to get a girls team developed within the club but this didn’t happen. I’ve been very lucky to gain my coaching certificates from the F.A.I and I will continue down this path to further my education within this sport and pass on the knowledge to the children.

This season I got a team! my under 9s I couldn’t be more pleased I have a fantastic bunch of kids all unique and a joy to work with. But there in, is the dedication you put in the background work, the training sessions, washing kits, endless text messages and logistics of a away match!! ( I wonder if I could bill the club for Botox and hair dye!!) it can be stressful at times!!

This season we have had some excellent results 1 loss, 1 draw and the rest were wins not bad! ask any @ manager would he sleep well and keep his job…. I think the answer would be yes.

To involve my team in this article I asked them 3 questions
1) who do you want to play for?
2) what position?
3) what will you buy me when you are rich and famous?

Luke Southworth – Wigan or Manchester untied- goalkeeper-swimming pool
Reece O’Carroll- Liverpool- Midfielder- a new hat and a signed football
Riley O’Carroll-Liverpool-defender-sweets
Harvey Leahy- Barcelona-striker- bananas
Nicholas Dragozova- Manchester United-striker- a Mansion
Cillian O’Meara Manchester United- striker-a Lamborghini
Gabriellus Meska Arsenal-striker- a spare car ( well if the Lamborghini breaks down!!)
Finn Walsh- Barcelona- striker- a wine cellar ( he forgot about the wine!!)
Kyle Byrne-Liverpool- striker- a horse

Well In 10 years and all their wishes come true I stand to gain a awful lot!! I will be the most eligible bachelorette in Bettystown and all this before I draw my pension!!

Now ummmmm whatB&B. colour Lamborghini do I want?
