D1 soccer in America is really starting to be taken over by the Irish and one player making an impressive start is former Cork City goalkeeper AJ Mather-Nash! 🧤
The young shot-stopper is on scholarship with GCU Men’s Soccer in Arizona and, since becoming eligible to play, has started twice and kept two clean sheets from two games.
It’s an excellent start to life in D1 soccer for Mather-Nash after impressing throughout his time in the Cork City academy who left the club on a high, playing in goal as City lifted the Munster Senior Cup earlier this season.

Facebook's courtroom reprieve is a wake-up call for Big Tech's critics. Regulation is tricky enough in an established industry but when new services emerge like social media and app stores defining the market and showing dominance becomes harder still
