Good Lord, this was never getting saved.

Total Football are doing some wonders with young Irish footballers and, judging by a couple of goals scored at a recent tournament held in England, finishing skills are being honed to perfection. The Munster-based football academy headed over to the Oakham School Academy Festival and took on some of the best teams from across the UK and Ireland. Early doors in the tournament, Leon Kirrane from Limerick scored this superb rabona after waltzing by some perplexed defenders. https://twitter.com/FilmMyMatch/status/899215564555550720 That was only the start. Charlie Concannon from Inisbofin Island, off the coast of County Galway, was the only chap thinking 'I'm going to volley this' amid a game of head tennis in the Leicester City U16 box. The height the teenager managed to get and the power he generated were really something else. Goals, and names, to remember.
