Previously I have conducted interviews with Hugh Harkin and Mark McCrystal regarding their work with the Youth Academy. The publicity and coverage around the youth team in my opinion has lacked so I had taken the initiative to get a better focus on the matter on Drive 105's Match Night Live.
Last night, if you listened to our coverage, I featured an interview between Stephen McClelland, MNL Presenter, and Ryan Coyle, U15's coach. They discussed the challenges and rewards of coaching the age level. https://youtu.be/-yAoGY2zdu0?si=oZVthplYIFUiF12f
I have set up a dedicated playlist to the Academy and we hope to expand it in the same manner as the Women's team.
