A Family Affair - Two father and son duos line out in Kilkenny & District League fixture
From this week’s Callan Notes in the Kilkenny People
The Callan United ‘B’ team shared the spoils with Lions at the Fair Green Callan on Sunday last with both teams scoring two goals.
But what was unique about the game was that the team lined out with two fathers and sons. Dwyane Tennyson who is one of the clubs great coaches having helped to guide the girls Under 17 team to FAI cup glory in 2025 has been called into action for the ‘B’ team recently and now has him playing alongside his son Dylan.
Now if that wasn’t novel enough another father, Joey Byrne who played for the Callan United ‘A’ team for years, now plies his trade with the ‘B’ team again along side his son Adam. Bet there are not too many club teams at any grade with this unusual quartet.
