You won't believe why the Cabinteely manager wasn't in the dug-out last night

SSE AIRTRICITY LEAGUE First Division strugglers Cabinteely entertained UCD at Stradbook last night — but had to do so without manager Eddie Gormley.

The former Bray Wanderers boss didn’t appear on the teamsheet, with assistant Dave Mackey instead taking charge, and just before kick-off, the south Dublin club tweeted the reason behind his absence:

Eddie Gormley is on holiday so assistant manager Dave Mackey is taking charge for tonight's game against UCD.

Okay, it’s not professional football but you wouldn’t get that sort of stuff in the Leinster Senior League. Cabinteely were beaten 3-1 by the Students.
