Viewers praise another 'superb' episode of RTE's Davy's Toughest Team

Viewers of RTÉ's latest series of Davy's Toughest Team were all in awe of another "superb episode."

In its second season, the show sees Clare man and hurling legend Davy Fitzgerald help motivate and train a group of seven troubled youths, as part of both a mental and physical wilderness bootcamp.

This season looks at Tadgh, Lee, Brendan, Rob, Kelvin, Dave and Jamie, all 18-24-years-old, with most having battled issues such as drug addiction, abandonement, bereavement to name but a few.

On episode 2, which aired on Wednesday night, Davy put the team through their paces.

Limerick lad and contestant Kelvin, this week told RTÉ that he learned a lot from the challenges he was put through by the Waterford manager in the show.

Reflecting on the episode one Twitter user said: "Fair play to the lads for putting themselves forward for this challenge. It’s a tough one for anyone but even more so for these guys, giving their circumstances."

Another joked that they were going to record one of davys speeches and use it as their alarm. "I'll spring up out of the bed in the mornings, & I'll make it as well," they added.

Viewers said they were "gutted" that 18-year-old Lee, who lost his older sister Nicole, can't make the trip.

Lee previously played with Shamrock Rovers before moving to Wexford and since his sister's death, has been plagued with anxiety.

One viewer said: "There are so many lost young people but #DavysToughestTeam is full of optimism. Davy Fitz is a natural with them."

One final commenter commended the former Clare goalkeeper, saying: "Davy Fitz is a very good person - that’s the tweet."
