He really has gone next level. Lester is performing the Backline General role to perfection. It is a shame that Fagan took so long to catch on.

People only needed to use their eyes and not get sucked into the ‘group think’ to see how great Lester’s skills, attitude and understanding of the game were. The fact that he was only selected for three senior games and only took the field twice in 2022 was a travesty. Then there was last year when Fagan left Lester out of the side, playing Darragh Joyce instead from Rounds 2-6.

To his great credit and in a sign of what an amazing temperament Lester has, he just knuckled down, worked hard and when he got his next chance, made himself indispensable to our defence. He has proven every doubter wrong.
