“Fav” Scoil Memory

Lucky enough to have played in big finals across both codes, be it winning championships or promotions they are hard to split.

Best Sporting Moment

Without a doubt being a member of the Dublin Senior football team in 2018/2019. To be part of the greatest team to play the game is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. I have to mention the penalty shootout win against Meath in the O’Byrne Cup semi-final, that was some buzz and great to see so many members at the game afterwards.

Any Advice to the club’s Younger players:

Practice, practice, practice. Aim to be the best you can be. And never give up. Like most kids, I dreamt of playing for Dublin and little did I know I’d be 28 before that happened.

Thank you Andy for your inspiring interview it’s true to say that Andy is indeed a mighty player and club legend on and off the pitch. #Up Scoil!

 

 

Team Updates

Boys Under 13-16’s Teams

Lot’s happening virtually throughout the teams, Ronan Murphy explains that the teenage lads had a great Talk, Questions & Answers Session with Ollie Baker, former Clare hurler. Another successful online event followed, with guest speaker Michael Daragh McCauley, former Dublin Senior Footballer.

Thanks to Johnny Bowden for giving his time over the last 3 weeks, kickboxing proved very popular indeed with the lads.
