"In the latest of our vintage veteran series, Dublin great and seven-time All-Ireland winner Eoghan O'Gara reveals he is still enjoying his football with Wexford club Shelmaliers despite injuries. It's not quite a Benjamin Button tale but for Eoghan O'Gara, it's certainly a case of an Indian Summer."
"Two years ago at 38, O'Gara was an impact player for Shelmaliers as they won a third Wexford senior football championship. It looked no more than a punctuation to a long and distinguished career, the old Dub moving down and throwing in his lot with the locals for a couple of years."
Eoghan O'Gara, a Dublin great and seven-time All-Ireland winner, continues to enjoy playing football with Wexford club Shelmaliers despite carrying injuries. The ongoing spell represents an unexpected late flourishing in his career, described as an Indian Summer rather than a reversal of age. At 38, he served as an impact player as Shelmaliers captured a third Wexford senior football championship. That success appeared to be a neat punctuation to a long and distinguished career as the former Dublin player moved down and joined the local club for a couple of years.
