Last year, Ballybraddan made the final only to miss out by a point. This year the road to victory is tough and incident-packed. There will be challenges for our gang: first love, the search for identity, attaining self-discipline and negotiating feelings of self-worth. The group dynamic develops to reflect these changes.
