Specsavers virtual kick about
Specsavers are running a national media campaign as part of their sponsorship of the GAA nationally and have asked for our support. They are looking for children to virtually pass a gaelic football from Killarney to Croke Park for the All-Ireland football final.
To take part a child receives a football from the left hand side of the camera shot, caught and is kicked out the right.
Any child from Nenagh Éire Óg who wishes to be put forward for it can do so by wearing their club gear and completing a video. The video can be posted on the WhatsApp groups or directly to the coaches of their group. If there is more than one video per group the coaches can decide on the best one.
We will send a few of our best videos to Specsavers. Creativity in the videos will help. Anyone interested please complete the video before Friday 13th August.
Work on the new hurling wall is well underway. These are very exciting times for the entire club.
Any remaining donations can be paid over to your fundraising representative, any amount is welcome and appreciated, your fundraising representative will have any details you may require in supporting the development. Any remaining tax forms associated with your donation should be given to your fundraising representative along with detail of the names you wish to have included on the club development jigsaw wall.
