Great experience being part of this. Appreciate the opportunity.

Great to have you Fin Lynch glad you like the final Coaches' Voice CV Academy feature!

This is brilliant. Fin Lynch is a quality coach, class act and someone I’ve had the pleasure to work with. You can see the happiness in the kids faces, see they’re having fun & learning a great deal. Not bad at Gaelic football on those scheduled multisport days too 😄

With us today, with us always. Rest in peace, Mac ❤️🤍

A fantastic touch - Mac will be a huge miss at the academy. He kicked every ball with every player he coached. An enthusiasm and love for the club we will never seen matched. ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍
