Boccia Paralympian Kieran Steer from Crossgates took some time out after Rio before deciding to return to the sport that he loves so much. Kieran went back to basics and eased himself back into training under the guidance of his fiancée Cat as his coach. Together they have made excellent progress and Kieran was called up last year to the national development squad.
If there ever was any doubt that Kieran is hungry for success yet again, it disappeared today at the SDS National Boccia Championships. Kieran had wins in the BC4 class against Jackie Morrison, Scott McIntyre and Ross Munro to set up a final against Scotland’s most successful ever BC4 player Stephen McGuire. Although he lost 2-4 Kieran was pleased with his performance and I am reliably informed that he has qualified for the British Championships in Ireland.
Welcome back Kieran and congratulations on how you have handled your comeback and how you performed at the Scottish Championships.
