Derry City goalkeeper Brian Maher has revealed how his opposite number in Sunday’s FAI Cup final kept him fit during Covid lockdowns.
Maher and Brendan Clarke were teammates at St Patrick’s Athletic prior to the pandemic, with Maher moving to Bray Wanderers on loan and then permanently in 2020.
Once restrictions were loosened, the pair met up for one-to-one training sessions, with veteran netminder Clarke passing on some of his experience to the young hopeful.
