Most of the team took Harry’s manic ferocity with good grace, but Angela Cartello – their new keeper – matched him step for step. Harry hoped she’d be made captain once he left. He’d felt a twinge of guilt replacing O’Connor in the lad’s last year to play, but Cartello really was phenomenal. There was no way he could justify keeping O’Connor, lacklustre player that he was, in the face of such raw talent and untapped potential. Strangely enough, O’Connor seemed almost relieved to not make the team. Harry couldn’t fathom why.
