Sean Taylor of Coolera Strandhill Picture: Sportsfile
Former Aodh Ruadh and Donegal minor player Sean Taylor is celebrating Connacht glory on Sunday evening after his side Coolera Strandhill reached the pinnacle of the club’s history by winning a Connacht Senior Club Championship title.
They defeated the strong favourites, Roscommon champions Padraig Pearses after extra-time in Markievicz Park, Sligo on Sunday.
And Donegal native Taylor played his part in the full-back line, getting forward to score a vital point in the final quarter of normal time.
The Sligo side went on to win by a single point after extra-time, 1-15 to 1-14.
Taylor, a qualified strength and conditioning coach, has his own business and has been involved with many different teams in different sports.
He was initially a goalkeeper and was the ‘keeper for the Donegal minor team. He was a member of the Sligo senior panel as a goalkeeper, but he has also been a very useful outfield player.
He normally plays in defence at full-back or centre-half-back and was part of the Aodh Ruadh team that won the Donegal Intermediate title in 2020, before then transferring to Coolera Strandhill.
It has been a great year for Sean and Coolera, winning the Sligo title after a replay and then overcoming Ballina Stephenites before the final victory over Padraig Pearses.
