It's a students life for Geraghty

40-year-old veteran Graham Geraghty will make his Sigerson Cup debut in the new year when he will line out for Blanchardstown IT, who he co-managed to a Trench Cup title earlier this year.
Geraghty is eligble to play Sigerson after signing up for a social and community development course at the college and is expected to feature for the college when they take on Maynooth NUI.
“It came as bit of a surprise,” he said, speaking to the Irish Independent. “I didn’t think I’d ever play college football at any stage and it’s definitely a surprise to be playing at this level.
“I was meant to do a sports and recreational course in Colaiste Ide but I never did and 23 years later here I am.”
“I’ve been playing all summer and I’d be fit enough. I have been looking after those lads for the last three years so you have your eye on what is coming up.
“It’s just different that you’re playing with them this year.”
Geraghty will combine playing with Blachardstown IT with coaching Duleek/Bellewstown and Clann na nGael.
