Legion Street Leagues – The ‘Real’ Super 8s!

Published

on

The inaugural Killarney Legion Street Leagues kicked off last week at Legion's grounds at Direen. This fun tournament is for juvenile members of the club aged 10-14.

Each team is comprised of a mix of age groups with equal numbers of boys and girls and age groups in each team. Brothers, sisters and neighbours play together in a league of 8 teams with exotic names such as the Bears, Panthers and Cheetahs. 

The tournament has already been nicknamed 'the real super 8s' and will run throughout the summer months. Teams have a young mentor from our u16 teams on the sideline to guide their team through the competition. Coaches from the juvenile wing of the club are on hand to referee and adjudicate on any controversial 'hawkeye' decisions that may arise! 

The kids can follow their team's progress on the fixtures section of the Legion website and at https://scheduler.leaguelobster.com/415672/street-leagues/2018/

The competition was judged by photographer Vivian Buckley, who offered a critique praising Anne’s eye for detail and confirming that the image effectively “nailed the theme”.

Students from three local secondary schools, St Brendan’s College, St Bridget’s Secondary School, and Killarney Community College, are joining forces with the Killarney Tidy Town Committee, Kerry County Council, and the Meitheal group to focus on environmental projects.

The students recently gave impressive presentations detailing their efforts to actively promote biodiversity, tackle litter waste, and protect the environment.
Attending the presentations were members of the Tidy Towns Committee and Mayor of Killarney Councillor Martin Grady.
The students have conducted surveys to highlight the worst areas prone to litter and have carried out subsequent litter picking in those areas while also creating public awareness.
Additionally, bird feeders have been made in woodwork classes and mounted within the school grounds.
One of the key strategies adopted by the schools to maintain and increase diversity has been the development and nurturing of garden areas within their grounds.
These green spaces serve a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem, promoting student well-being, and empowering learners of all abilities.
