BE A GOOD SPORT

If you want to lure your kids off their smartphones, now is the time to get them into sports.

The GAA championships and soccer World Cup are hotting up. If there’s a budding Ronaldo in your family, Argos has a range of goal posts and training accessories.

Our ‘special correspondent’ also recommended the ‘Mitre 2-in-1 Rebounder and Goal’, which lets you practice your shooting, passing and reflex skills. It’s easily set up and portable, so you can take it down to the local park for a game.

A wide range of GAA sports gear also arrives in-shop tomorrow at Lidl stores, including a €34.99 hurling skills net. Cycling, gardening and running gear went on sale on Thursday and might be still be there.
