A Game of Fives
COLERAINE midfielder Darren McCauley chooses his five-a-side team plus two substitutes from the current first-team squad at The Showgrounds..
The rules are simple – Darren must choose a goalkeeper and four outfield players (not including himself) plus two impact substitutions.
After some deliberation, Darren came up with the following team.
GOALKEEPER
Chris Johns:
He is the best goalkeeper in the country and he is still young in footballing terms. Will play as a professional in years to come without a doubt.
OUTFIELD PLAYERS
Stephen O’Donnell:
A colossus at the back. I know from first hand experience how difficult he is to get past in a 5-a-side. A real leader.
Lyndon Kane:
Lyndon is a solid defender, hard in the tackle and is getting better and better. Would work well in a five-a-side.
Josh Carson:
Josh has a tremendous attitude, is tenacious, strong and has a great strike. All the qualities you would want.
Aaron Burns:
The complete footballer – would link the play really well and score goals.
SUBSTITUTES
Eoin Bradley:
Strong and fearless. ‘The King’ scores like Messi and celebrates like Ronaldo.
Stephen Dooley:
Fast, skilful and a pleasure to play with. What a player!
