Leo Quinn - Family, Football and Fun!
Leo Quinn enjoys the craic!.. Team Leader for Mid Ulster Youth Service, he is a life-long Coalisland Fianna member brought up in the traditions of the club. His father Tommy was long-term club secretary and team bus driver and older brother Martin managed the minors to championship victory.
Leo also recalls his own great minor win and happy childhood memories about the town, including a glory night of snooker and trips to the cinema on the Lineside.
Leo & Ronan share memories and pay tribute to the Fianna committee of 2003, the Centenary of the club that included the launch of the second 'Na Fianna' book and the Gala dinner as well as traipsing the roads selling tickets for a 'cow clap'.
On the 20th anniversary of the U16 Paul McGirr Cup win, they roll call the players and remember a poignant and special tournament.
However it wasn't all plain sailing with a county final defeat, and much worse, a traumatic accident that resonates with Leo to this day.
Tyrone Crystal was good to him but their closure saw him embark on a new career. Perhaps it was meant to be... helping, along with others, enhance the welfare and development of our young people.
Leo is often called on to MC at community events, a great character he makes a wonderful contribution to local life!
(* There is a lot of Fianna in this podcast!)
