Two young Kilkenny soccer player were granted a once in a lifetime opportunity last week as the pair met Irish international football managers Heimer Hilgrinson (Men's Team) and Carla Ward (Women's Team).

Caoimhe Morrissey (Freebooters) and good friend Cathy Gibbons (Evergreen) were the lucky winners of a competition to take part in a training session with Ireland's Men's and Women's team managers.

The coaches were very generous with their time and even called the girls' two brothers, Fionn and Mark, into the session.

The Kilkenny players were two of 12 chosen from throughout Ireland in what was a brilliant experience and a great day had by all.
