    Grant swaps soccer for golf

    Former Shamrock Rovers striker Stephen Grant has revealed that he will be concentrating on a different ball game after calling time on his career in the eircom League.

    Despite a new contract offer from Roddy Collins’s Rovers, and interest from several other league clubs, former Sunderland trainee Grant has decided to retire from the game at the age of just 27.

    He is using the extra time to improve on his golf game, however, and after chiselling his handicap mark from 16 to just a shade over scratch in less than four years, he is in line to enter some of the top amateur tournaments in the country.

    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Dont see any mention in that post. Post-festive season paranoia perhaps?

    The letters of GOLF actually stand for Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden... so it is not only the most pointless activity known to man, but sexist and should be banned under equality legislation.
