Time at home 'fills up the soul' for Ballincollig's AFL star O'Connell

Don't make me sad yet

A great summary thanks.

Watching that video assessment from a non biased independant source, just highlights how excited we all should be about next year. Both Flanders and TDK have the potential to become top 5 for their position in the competition and add them to our kids who are about the really take off and anything can happen in 2026.

Go Sainters!
