A new school. A new sport. An old mystery…
Eoin Madden’s been moved up to train with the Junior Cup team, which is hard work, plus there’s trouble in school as mobile phones start going missing!

Back in school. Back in sport. Back in time.

Discovering History. Uncovering Mystery
Eoin Madden’s been moved up to train with the Junior Cup team, which is hard work, plus there’s trouble in school as mobile phones start going missing! But there are ghostly goings-on in Castlerock – what’s the link between Eoin’s history lessons and the new spirit he’s spotted wearing a Belvedere rugby jersey?
Haunting history. Thrilling tries.
Eoin and his new friends are taken on a trip to Twickenham to play & watch rugby. There, he meets a ghost: Prince Obolensky, a Russian who played rugby for England, scored a world famous try against New Zealand in Twickenham and later joined the RAF and died in WW2.
Ancient Roots. Modern boots.
Eoin Madden is captain of the Junior Cup team, training with Leinster and aiming for Ireland’s Under 16 World Cup team. He also has to deal with grumpy friends, teachers piling on the homework – AND a ghost on a mission that goes back to the very origins of the game of rugby.
