Club: Fingal Ravens GFC
County: Dublin
Volunteer Roles: Communications, Match Reporting, Photography and Social Media
Telling the Stories That Bring a Club to Life
At just 19, Harry Begg has already become an invaluable part of Fingal Ravens GFC in Dublin, bringing a natural talent for storytelling, a love of Gaelic football, and a willingness to help wherever he is needed.
Harry’s volunteering journey began at 17, when he stepped forward to assist the club’s PRO with communications and social media. What started with posting fixtures and results has grown into a much broader role, helping to tell the stories of the players, teams and people who make Fingal Ravens such an important part of its community.
A gifted writer, Harry produces detailed and engaging match reports that capture not only the action on the field but also the atmosphere and spirit of the occasion. His photography and social media contributions help bring those stories to a wider audience, keeping members, families and supporters connected with club life.
This year, he took on another project, creating individual player profiles for every member of the club’s Senior Men’s and Ladies’ teams, recognising the players who represent Fingal Ravens week after week.
His contribution is particularly valuable at a time when effective digital communications are becoming increasingly important to clubs, helping them engage existing members, attract new supporters and celebrate their achievements.
Two separate nominations highlighted Harry’s dedication and the high regard in which the club holds him.
Described as a quiet, ever-present talent, he has earned a reputation for reliability, enthusiasm and a willingness to take on whatever needs to be done.
His work demonstrates that volunteering in sport extends far beyond coaching and administration. Telling a club’s stories, celebrating its people, and strengthening its connection with the wider community is an increasingly important contribution.
