Offaly Ladies Football Club boosted by presentation from Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund
Club travelling to Derry for national Feile finals this weekend
TULLAMORE Ladies Football Club have been boosted by the presentation of €4,000 from the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund.
The money was handed over by the mother of the late Ashling Murphy, Kathleen Murphy at a recent U14 training session in preparation for the national Feile na nOg finals in Derry this weekend.
Following a very busy few weeks of preparation and fundraising Tullamore Ladies Gaelic Football Clubs U-15 girls and their management team of Leonard Mooney, Jimmy O’Brien, Nichole Mc Loughlin and Denise Colbert and Mai Cunningham are ready for their trip to the National U -15 Féile na N-Óg tournament being held at Pairc John McLaughlin, Fuaghanvale GAA club, Derry on Saturday June 28th.
The core aim of the Féile is to ensure that every player gets an opportunity to participate and play in their respective Féile tournament at a level commensurate to their age, skill an strength. This the third year in a row that the Tullamore girls have qualified for Feile and are really looking forward to taking part in this once in a lifetime event for many of them.
Great credit goes to the players who have worked so hard over the last few weeks to prepare and the club acknowledges the work and commitment of the coaches who give up so much of their time to ensure the team is fully prepared for the tournament.
Over the last few weeks many individuals and local business have come on board to offer sponsorship to ensure that the costs of the trip are covered for the players and to provide club gear for the occasion. Without the support of so many, Tullamore Ladies Football and other clubs would not be in a position to look after the players so well.
Tullamore Ladies football club thanks all who generously supported the club through financial and club gear sponsorship and continues to feature all the sponsors individually on social media.
The club was also the very appreciative recipient of funding from the “Ashling Murphy Memorial fund”. This fund supports “ individuals attending cultural events for the enhancement of Traditional Irish Arts, Culture, Heritage and Science. The cub thank all involved for this support.
The club wish all our players their coaches and families the very best of luck and hope they have a very enjoyable time in Derry.
