Injury and an impressive cameo off the bench gives Kian Leavy chance to shine on play-off stage tomorrow.
When everything on the pitch comes easy and feels natural. The same game as when he grew up playing in Ardee, Co. Louth.
Leavy’s performance off the bench in the first leg of the Uefa Conference League play-off with Istanbul Basaksehir was filled with positivity and daring. Advertisement Leavy almost produced one of the moments of the qualifiers with a sharp slalom under pressure that took three IB players out of contention and a 25-yard shot that smashed off the post and away from danger.
“You can see with the lads coming how much the standard of performance has risen. There’s competition and no guarantee of places. It’s been much the same team for the last five weeks because they’ve won games. You still have to be ready.” What followed was a timely reminder of the attributes he has that sets him apart from so many others.
Leavy, as well as Mason Melia, Jake Mulraney and Zack Elbouzedi must function in tandem to stifle their ability to sustain pressure by breaking those lines. Jamie Lennon and Chris Forrester will supplement that.
