Fab four bring home silverware

-

Four talented athletes were the toast of south and west Wicklow recently as they brought home medals from a regional competitio­n.

Fiona Healy, Michael Connolly, Peter Kelly and Andrew Gahan from KARE in Tinahely rose to the top despite facing stiff competitio­n in ten pin bowling at the Leinster Regional Advancemen­t event at Funtasia Waterpark in Drogheda. The four players had to use all their skill and experience to produce some exceptiona­l bowling as they competed in both singles and doubles events during the two-day tournament.

The staff at the KARE service in Tinahely have sent the players a huge ‘congratula­tions’ on their achievemen­ts and have also extended a heartfelt ‘ thank you’ to the parents and families who supported them over the two days.

The Leinster event was held as part of a four-year cycle organised and facilitate­d by Special Olympics Ireland ahead of the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi.
