Wasn't aware of these lads at all, thanks for putting this up. If you have the time and the inclination, put up the odd update on their progress.

A fair auld Finn Harps connection through them. Their manager Austin Friel is a former Harps player, and Pat McCann came from them to Harps a few years ago.
