Naoise Off to Namibia

Adult Ladies Footballer Naoise Ní Bhroin will be having a pub quiz on the 14th March in the club in aid of her trip to Namibia. The night begins at 8.00pm and is €10 per head!

For those of you who don’t know, Naoise is flying to Namibia on the 31st March and volunteering with a charitable organisation for three months. She will be working with orphans and disadvantaged children in the area teaching English and PE. O’Neills has given her a generous donation of equipment to coach Gaelic Football at the orphanages.

Support from the club would be greatly appreciated.
