Erin’s Smile

YOUNG players from Erin’s Isle paid a visit to Supervalu in Finglas recently to pick up some new training kits thanks to the thoughtfulness of local shoppers.

The local supermarket had been running a promotion during which shoppers received a ‘Kit for Kids’ token when they paid for their shopping.

The token could then be donated to their chosen club through in-store collection points, and Finglas shoppers were more than happy to give their tokens to help Erin’s Isle.

Players and volunteers from the club dropped down to Supervalu to collect their kit, which included 10 training balls, ball sacks, 24 water bottles, 20 training bibs, 20 backpacks, a speed ladder, a sports marker set with 40 markers and a large kit bag for the team.

The players were warmly welcomed to the store by manager, Des Ryan, and the Erin’s Isle contingent enjoyed some lovely food that was laid on for them.

“The training kit will help a lot of our juvenile teams to grow from strength to strength,” 

said club mentor, Grainne Gaffney.
