Our
Lucky Mascot - Kyle!
My other passion in life away from my
love of football is a genuine love for gundogs in particular
Irish Setters or Red Setters as most people call this beautiful
breed. Setters
have been a great part of my life for many years both at home
as family pets or in the show ring.
The show ring has
had to take a back seat so that I can devote all my time and
energy into the football coaching therefore my setters have
only been lightly shown during the past few years.
Kyle (pictured to the right) has
never missed a home game at Oakbank and along with me he is
the first to arrive at the clubs venue and the last to leave!
After every match finishes and the goal
posts, corner flags etc have been stored away back in the
clubs container he is free to race round the football pitch. I often wonder
what he thinks about when he sees everyone the player’s,
coaches, and parents and grand parents get excited with the
events taking place on the football park. I may be superstitious
however he seems to bring us luck whenever he wears the official
Bankies scarf!!
