The autumn chill bit at the training grounds as Johnny Kavanagh paced, his temper frayed from weeks of relentless camps in Europe and Dublin. Hunger gnawed at him, sharpening his irritation when a girl wandered onto the pitch. His teammates jeered, but it was the coach’s dismissal that snapped his resolve. Fuming, Johnny lashed out, kicking a rugby ball with brutal force. He didn't expect the trajectory to shift, nor the sickening thud as it struck the girl crossing the field. Silence fell, broken only by his pained curse.
