Get to Know Your Junior Academy Coach: Tony


08 December 2023

Our Warriors Junior Academy is made possible thanks to our coaches, assistant coaches, and a small dedicated team of Warriors. It's time to shine a spotlight on them as a small thanks for all of their work. 
 
Starting off with Tony Kenny. He is the U17 head coach and has been a part of the Academy since they were known as the "Colts." He has been a rugby player for 19 years but has been a fan of the game "since I can remember." This past season he played in every Men's game as a hooker and sometimes scrum half. He plays for both Men's 1st and 2nd team. His favorite rugby drill would have to be lineout practice. Since he grew up in Leinster, they are his favorite rugby team. He has "always loved watching the front rowers at work and so his favorite rugby players are Dan Sheehan (IRE) and Andrew Porter (IRE).
 
In addition to being head coach, Tony has helped organize and coach the Academy day camps. Since the beginning, he has been helping to grow the sport of rugby and has been a part of making the Warriors Academy the largest Junior Rugby Club in Finland. Thank you Tony! See you at training!
