“My boys have been going to Coach Neil every year since P1. He showed great patience in allowing them to settle in at their own pace and now they love their weekly sessions.”
Claire Gilmore (Dara and Oscar)
“We have sent both our boys to Neil’s after school football since they were in P2 and they both loved it. Neil is a really positive coach and brings all his vast experience from coaching mini soccer at Aquinas FC to the afterschool football. The biggest compliment is that our eldest was devastated he could no longer attend when he started First year last year. I would definitely recommend it!”
John O’Connor (Matthew and Michael)
“Rory always loved going to your football class.”
Gerard Rafferty (Rory)
“Peter has been attending afterschool football with Neil from Primary 1 and he looks forward to it all week. He enjoys getting to play football with his classmates and his skills have improved loads! Excellent coaching!”
Anna Laverty (Peter)
“My son has attended Neil's after school football club from P1-P7. I genuinely cannot speak highly enough about Neil's impact on my son's development, both in terms of football skills but more generally in terms of his teamwork/social skills. Neil garners so much respect from the boys he coaches and he uses it wisely to guide their learning. I had never realised it until recently but Neil's after school club has been my son's social passport. He was not especially sporty but thanks to the after-school club he now confidently joins in with any lads on a football pitch - which is an invaluable skill as he transfers to a new school.”

“My son attended Neil’s after-school soccer at St Bride’s Hall until he left in P7. We would highly recommend it as it was absolutely the highlight of his week. He says it is never boring, always fun and the best after-schools activity he has been to. Neil is a brilliant soccer coach and has always been kind and helpful.”
Joanne Kearney (Emmett)
“Caine absolutely loved your sessions.”
Claire McCusker (Caine)
“Conor absolutely loved the 7 years of after school football with you and we loved the encouragement Neil gave all of the boys, not just the ones with natural talent, but all of them who enjoyed it so much. An Easter soccer camp with you where Eimear was only of only two girls was enough to ignite her passion for football too.”
Jennifer Turkington (Conor)
“Our child joined Neil’s P1 after school group and he has loved every session. We have been very impressed by how much he has learned in his first year and by Neil’s positivecoaching style and continued encouragement.”
Amy Hunter (Danny)
“My son was completely new to Football when he started with Neil. He has so much fun each week with his team friends. He loves Football!”
Orlagh Weir (Hugh)
“My son attended Neil’s after school at St Brides PS from primary one right through to primary seven (2023). He loved every minute of it. Neil is a natural coach and particularly good with children - he really gets the best from them. The class was inclusive as it had a mix of abilities and Neil was able to facilitate everyone. Everyone left with a smile on their face. I can’t recommend Neil highly enough.”
