“Killarney Credit Union is proud to be the main sponsor of this event, especially in light of its 40th year anniversary, we would like to wish the organisers and all participants the best of luck in this year’s soccer tournament,” said Pat Delaney, chairman of Killarney Credit Union.
There will be a range of accolades as part of the event, the Premier and Reserve Cups, the Kieran Cahillane Senior Player of the Tournament Award will be on offer for the outstanding player on view, while The Johnny Heffernan Underage Player of the Tournament Award will also be up for grabs.
