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 – far away from the glamour, the money and the pressure that turned
him off his own sport – 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 – whatever the outcome – that matters!
