    CIAN KAVANAGH, DUBLIN DISTRICT SCHOOLBOYS PLAYS FOR ST KEVINS AFC

    DUBLIN DISTRICT SCHOOLBOYS PLAYS FOR ST KEVINS AFC

    Hi, my name is Mark O' Reilly and I coach a schoolboy team in the DUBLIN DISTRICT SCHOOLBOYS LEAGUE PREMIER LEAGUE (TOLKA ROVERS). I am writing to you to alert of a player CIAN KAVANAGH currently playing for ST.KEVINS AFC in the u17 ddsl premier division. Having had the privilege of coaching CIAN a few years ago, I have watched and followed his career with admiration and awe at times. ST.KEVINS are regarded as the best team in Ireland and he has signed for them this season. He very recently got a call up to the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND U17 squad and got his first cap. Up until a couple of seasons ago he played for TOLKA ROVERS only because his father was the manager. We were in the second tier of the ddsl and this held the kid back.having moved up a level I was curious to see how he would adapt which he has done with ease. St.Kevins have a partnership with LIVERPOOL FC and although I am a Liverpool fan all my life I think CIAN is better suited to the ARSENAL style of football. He is without doubt the most naturally gifted player I have ever seen.

    He has fabulous skill, touch, control, composure and to top it all he is a very polite and gracious kid. Having recently got his first international cap I am quite certain that a lot of premier clubs will be interested which is why I've tried to give you a head start. CIAN  plays centre midfield and would be well worth a look. I can not recommend him highly enough.
    I also have a player who might be of some interest in COREY JENKINS, a brilliantly gifted left footer. He plays for TOLKA ROVERSin the same league as CIAN. He came to me as a left full but is much better in a more forward roll. On his day he is magical with more tricks than David Blaine. He is a little erratic and tends to lack confidence which baffles me as he is unstoppable when he puts his mind to it. He is very pacey, skilful and has the sweetest of left foots you will see anywhere and this is coming from someone who had a great left foot himself. If I'm honest I'm a little envious of his. I know you might think who am I to make these recommendations and what would I know about talent, but I played at a high level myself albeit some 20 odd years ago and won an FAI YOUTH CUP WINNERS MEDAL along with a LEINSTER YOUTH CUP WINNERS MEDAL. I was almost signed by BOHEMIANS at 18yrs of age but I had bad ankles and eventually retired at 20 after playing junior football on cortisone for 2 seasons. I am now managing at the highest level of schoolboy football in Ireland having only started coaching 2 years ago.
    I leave you with these recommendations and hope they may be of some interest to you.
