sport@eastcorkjournal.ie East Cork Soccer Notes
Carrigtwohill United AFC
We kicked off our sum-
mer camp 2018 with a visit from the FAI and their Fes- tival of Football initiative. First off their bus was FAI President Tony Fitzgerald immediately followed by FAI,
Delaney. As the rest of the FAI Entourage which included former Irish In- ternationals Stephen Hunt and Stephen Kelly and current
Ireland women’s
International players Am- ber Barrett and Amanda Budden disembarked one by one, they were wel- comed to Ballyadam with a warm reception as chil- dren,
Parents, coaches,
Managers and committee members gathered around together and applauded each person off
the bus.
As the kids went back to their camp both Stephen’s, Hunt and Kelly moved around to each age group of the camp, they joined in
the games to the kids en- joyment, and giving words of advice and encourage- ment to all. While Amber and Amanda
joined in CEO John
with another group who where in the middle of a match both teams getting an international player on their sides. The game all of a sudden took a com- petitive edge, as the chil- dren were eager to show the ladies all their skills. Meanwhile
Carrigtwohill
United Chairman, Martin Jones and some members of the committee showed the FAI Delegates around the Ballyadam
grounds.
On site was Ollie Shee- han former Chairman of Carrigtwohill community council, he was on hand to show case the town to the FAI, with a wonderful screening on the town who won the national title of Pride of Place 2017. Head coach Fred Adam gave a display of different
formations and tactics with his team and involving the two Stephens to the dis- play of attack v defence. We also had League of referee Graham
Ireland
Kelly who gave a fantas- tic display of equipment that match officials use on match days. Graham gave a full and very informative talk and display to each age group, even explaining the “Offside Trap”. Well down Graham and thank you.
As the club held an
open morning, the kids that were not involved in the camp there was a giant inflatable obstacle course an inflatable penalty shootout game and giant snakes and ladders games. While
there was plenty
of cake and refreshments for the parents .There where photo opportunities throughout with all the FAI delegation and play- ers. Before leaving there
were a few speeches and presentations .Chairman Martin Jones thanked John Delaney who presented a cheque for €2,500 to the club. While the club made a presentation to retiring FAI President and Cork man Tony Fitzgerald as a way of saying thank you for all what he has down for the club and football in Ireland. The chair- man went on to thank the clubs four main sponsors Carrigtwohill Pharmacy, Thairish, Shipping Solu- tions and Guilders Bar. He also went on to thank Hur- ley Supervalu in Midleton who supplied a fantastic cake on the day as well as their continual support to the club and all our part- nership sponsors. The Chairman also thanked all the clubs members, par- ents, coaches and commit- tee
members.It was a great occasion for the club and all involved in the summer camp one I’m sure will live long in the memory.
