Pre-season Training Begins in Earnest

The first training session of the year took place at Melrose park last night. The next session is scheduled for 6pm on Thursday.

The new fitness coach Lee, from St. Pats College took us through a light though vigorous warm and had the guys looking pretty daft. The body felt good the next day though, so considering this was the hardest workout for a good while, the warm-up must've worked well.

Then Brian took over and chipped away at some of the rustiness that's built up over the festive period. There was then a short small sided game (with nets and everything) and to finish of, which it quite literally did for quite a few of the guys, a few circuit exercises.

Expect things to get tougher - so it might be an idea to start getting down to these sessions so you can keep up with pace.
