Interview with first team coach "Patsy Lynch"
1. Before Athenry FC, had you been involved with any other clubs?
- I was with Mervue Utd for a few years at underage level and Maree Oranmore FC for five seasons.
2. How long have you been in your role at Athenry FC?
- This is my fourth season.
3. What has been your most memorable moment involved with the first team?
- Winning the league and cup double in the first season.
4. Can you name three of the most difficult players to manage in the squad?
- Colm O'Donovan, Dan Cunningham & Ryan O'Shaughnessy
(but all top class players, who would win any game on their own.)
5. Who would you say are the funny guys in the group?
- Paddy Quinn and Adam Duffy.
6. From the players replies to Q&A's who would you say is the fastest player in the squad?
- I would have to give it too Gary O'Connell, he is the only player who can lap Duffy.
7. Who is the best and worst trainer in the squad?
Best trainer Duff, worst Cathal.
8. Finally, from all the squads you have been involved with, how good do you reckon this current squad is?
- I would rate the current squad the best I have been involved with, all top class players and they play very well together as a team.
* May I add I am disappointed in the decision in letting Adam go.
