When Alan Mahon hears Amhrán na bhFiann on the Tallaght Tannoy again on Friday, he’ll take a deep breath and be thankful for his national service reconnecting.

Mahon is the Irish component of the new women’s management team, appointed by boss Carla Ward on account of his decade’s experience on the frontline for Manchester City.
