FAMILY FUN DAY HUGE SUCCESS UPDATE🤩💚. Hey everyone, In February we asked a group of our secondary school age athletes whether they would form a committee and organise the 2026 Family fun day. Daunted but not put off, meeting up every couple of weeks they picked a number of targets, Including to promote the best of Kilcoole AC raise funds for the juvenile section, And give people a day to remember. I’m fairly sure anyone there on the day would definitely say it was a day to remember, so much fun and family participation 💚🌟 In terms of funds raised for the juvenile section, they hit the target 🎯 🤩🌟Thanks to everyone that bought raffle tickets and to all our generous local community sponsors for all your support.
In term of representing the very best of Kilcoole, I can’t think of better examples to our younger athletes and indeed our senior section of what this community club means. Hard work, commitment, sacrifice. We’re incredibly proud of them all, many stepping so far out of their comfort zones, ordering equipment, marketing, even public speaking on the day. If this group are anything to go by the future is bright! Thank you to all the volunteers, incredible coaches guiding these young athletes, our amazing sponsors and families for being part of it. Roll on next Season, Kilcoole Abú 💚🌟🏃🏾‍♀️🏃

Proud is an understatement 🇮🇪
