Summer Camp

THERE was a great turnout at the Tralee Parnells’ summer camp, which ran for a fantastic 3 days. The fact that kids and parents asked for another day or two is a credit to the coaches and their assistants.

Thanks to all the kids who were great fun. Well done to camp co-ordinator Eamon Fitzgerald his coaches Julianne O’Keeffe, Jordan Brick and Brendan O’Leary. Well done to Parnells players Darragh Reen, Cillian O’Riordan and Sean Hartnett for their help.
