Ukraine Welcome to Connolly Park
The Sounds of Children’s laughter filled the air in Connolly Park this afternoon as our own juvenile club members (U7-U13) came along for a fun afternoon with the Ukrainian kids currently residing in the Tralee Community area. The emphasis was on fun and introducing our visitors to the game of football and included fun games, BBQ and an Easter Egg hunt!!
A fantastic effort and organisation by so many from both our GAA & LGFA clubs. Well done everyone.
