How good has this guy been.
Although Kieran McClea has never played for Maheno “YET”, he’s still well aware of his family connections with the club.
His father Richard played for Maheno JAB up until the 4th form, then returned to Maheno after high school and University to be part of the successful 1989-90 Citizen shield winning teams.
Although Richard was selected for North Otago both years, injuries prevented him from playing both years. Then work commitments took him out of the area.
Kieran's Grandfather David McClea also wore the green and black of Maheno, his greatest weapon was his speed. The late Jim Pringle once said “Dav McClea was so quick he could turn his bedroom light off and be in bed before the lights went out”.
Now that might be a slight exaggeration but he was quick. Dav McClea has the distinction of being the record holder to this day for the WBHS 100yards sprint. Unfortunately injury and farm commitments cut Dave’s career short also.
So from all of us at Maheno Kieran we wish you good luck for Saturday and beyond 💚🖤💚🖤
