A young man from Swords was lucky enough to be the first to try out the FAI’s new BEAM robot and get a virtual meeting with his soccer heroes.
Simon Smyth got to chat with Ireland captain Seamus Coleman and strikers Callum Robinson and Chiedozie Ogbene at the FAI National Training Centre - from the comfort of home.
Smyth was able to control the BEAM Robot, which is sponsored by DHL, from his home in Swords in a trial run as he came face-to-face, or face-to-screen at least, with the stars.
