Jack O’Sullivan tournament a big success again

CLUBS turned out in force to support the fourth annual Jack O’Sullivan indoor Soccer Tournament which was held at Ballybunion Community Centre on Saturday.

The tournament is in memory of the late Jack O’Sullivan of Beale who sadly passed away suddenly four years ago at the age of fourteen. Jack was a very popular young man in the area who loved playing soccer and riding horses and his death at such a young age rocked the North Kerry area in general at the time

Hosted by Ballybunion FC and LB Rovers the tournament has been growing in popularity over the past three years and as well as the usual senior tournament an Under 9, Under 13 and Under 17 competition was added this year.

Spokesperson for the organisers of the tournament, Eoin O’Mahony, said they were delighted with the response to the fund-raiser both by the clubs who supported the event and local business people who made donations.

Over €2,150 was raised on the day and it will be donated to the Irish Heart Foundation with a small donation going to three local soccer clubs.
