As the game becomes ever more corporatised, homogenised, and artificially boosted, it's reassuring that a certain sub-genre of football publishing stubbornly refuses to die. We'll call it minnowcore, for want of a better team - the celebration of teams who aren't even household names in their own homes. Now, to the likes of Charlie Connelly's Stamping Grounds and James Montague's Thirty-One Nil, can be added this charming little tale of how a team of Irish students somehow fought their way into the second round of the Europa League.
