Just 25 and from Philadelphia - Aidan has found success with top rural side
A GAA player from the US who took up the sport less than five years ago is making a mighty impression after moving to Ireland to pursue the game.
Although he is growing homesick, Aidan told our sister title IrishStar.com he "didn't want to look back knowing he didn't give it a try". "I used to play basketball, soccer, and baseball so I find Gaelic to be a combination of all those skills. Although my dad played GAA when he was young, we grew up watching and supporting Philadelphia sports teams so that was the reason for my last start.
"It was like something out of a dream. I was told it's only the fifth time Pomeroy has won the Championship in 100 years so I'm aware it doesn't come around too often, and I so feel even more grateful to have been a part of it." Plenty of Aidan's family members are there to keep him right on the pitch, too, including cousins John McCourt, Ryan O’Gara, James Quinn, Ollie McCreesh, and John Paul Coyle who all play for the Plunketts and Noel McCreesh who is part of the management.
"The culture for football here is nuts," Aidan enthused. "Everyone supports their local club the way my friends and I support the Eagles or the Phillies. Amateur sports has such a standing here and the impact it has on kids is special.
