Declan Bogue, who once coached teams and captained his county, has found immense satisfaction in training mature individuals at Ballygunner club's gym. He also heads various committees within the club, spreading his influence across different areas.
Declan Bogue SOMETIMES, STEPHEN FRAMPTON catches himself in the middle of the day wondering how the whole thing got from back then and his childhood spent on the bank supporting a Ballygunner team plodding along at intermediate level – in the shadow of the three-in-a-row winners of the late ‘60s – to now.
He doesn’t so much as double-up roles as spread himself across almost everything. He heads up the Healthy Club group. He is the chairman of the field committee, and, “That doesn’t change too much because the guys that were there before me did such a great job. One of them was my father and another was Tim O’Keefe who was on that team of the ‘60s.”
The team of the ‘60s were given due recognition, along with the founding members of the club. But also, those that toiled in lean times. “I always remember him saying to us that it would happen. And I used to say, ‘would he ever shut up about this?’” he says.
