Season Off To A Good Start

Now that the season is in it's fourth week, the athletes have all been training hard every Friday night practicing their dribbling, shooting, passing and, in the case of all the teams, their team work skills as seen by the photographs.

Another season has come to an end at Killester Special Olympics, and we were well prepared to see it out with a bang. Athletes, family members and volunteers came together for the last event of the season, the much awaited Social night. There was food, fun and a bit of a boogie to celebrate one of our most successful years to date. Three of our teams lined out on the night to receive awards - Our Development squad were presented with their league winners medals by their proud coach Alan, while our Mens selection lifted the trophy for their recent victory during the Fingal Cup. Up last, but by no means least, were our Ladies, who romped home with a fantastic silver in the Eastern Region League. Well done to one and all, keep up the training over the summer to be match fit for September

Fundraising event
SuperValu Killester
On Saturday April 16th, athletes, families and club volunteers participated in bag packing in SuperValu Killester to raise much needed funds for our programme. Fundraising events in the community are a great way for our athletes to meet people and share their stories, while also giving back. Everyone enjoyed their time and we are delighted to announce, no shopping was harmed!!! The Committee would like to thank the Management and Staff of SuperValu Killester for being so welcoming and our volunteers, athletes and their families who gave their time on the day.
