Great example of coach–analyst alignment at @cliftonvillefc 🔴⚪️

Conor Pepper & Niall McGivern working together on a pattern of play — full back, winger & midfielder relationships in possession.

Love seeing this detail transfer onto matchday.

🔴⚪ Academy Integration

With schools off today, our U16s joined the full-time Academy programme at the training ground.

A brilliant opportunity for the lads to experience the environment alongside our full-time players — and meet the first team manager & staff.

€3 million in funding is a big step for the League of Ireland Academies, but one that comes with warning of those trusted with it!

Outstanding work by people like Will Clarke and others who shaped LOI Academy football has laid the groundwork, but what they built is only a path, one that depends on people who want to continue the journey, not profit from it.
