Each Thursday we want to put the spotlight on a person involved with goalball – from players, officials, coaches, or anyone.
This week we caught up with Conall Moore!
What club do you play for or coach?
I play for RNC. I made my debut at the Intermediate League South (Matchday 3) in March this year and also played in the Novice Shield in April – which we won!
How did you discover goalball?
I once went along to a taster session at Winchester Goalball Club, but I didn’t start playing properly until I started at RNC.
Is there a particular song, artist or genre that you listen to before a tournament to get in the mood? Or anything you’re loving at the moment?
I like listening to Rap music although I also like some classic bands like Oasis.
Do you have any pre-game superstitions or rituals?
I always do a good warm up and get used to defending the ball. It’s then shades on, game on!
Do you have a favourite post-match meal?
Steak and chips.
Which goalball player do you admire the most and why?
There are lots of great elite players at RNC – including Meme Robertson, Antonia Bunyan, Chris Colbert and Stuart Hudson – who are all really supportive.
Outside of goalball, what other hobbies/sports do you do?
I like rugby union. I support London Irish and also Ulster.
Finally, what place, anywhere in the world, is on your bucket list to visit and why?
I would like to go to Australia and New Zealand to watch some rugby but also to experience the culture.
