A new series of soccer summer camps, including a weekend-long festival will kick off next month in Milltown.

Run by Milltown Football Club’s Robin O’Day, the series of four-day summer camps will begin on July 1 and run every Monday through Thursday for July until the end of August.

Additionally, O’Day will run the O'Day Football Festival from July 19 to 21.

This weekend-long programme will cover advanced soccer skills and places are limited to 32 spaces per category (under 10, under 12 and under 14).

“This is a gathering for all young football enthusiasts to share in fun football competitions over the weekend and lots more fun,” said O’Day. “This will be an exciting and action-packed weekend of Football in Milltown all-weather pitch.”

Registration has just opened for the under-10, under-12 and under-14 competitions, but places are limited so register early before places are all gone.

The €100 Festival Entry Fee includes 1v1,2v2 4v4 and 8v8 competitions and lots of more fun throughout the weekend.

Meanwhile, Milltown FC welcomed Republic Of Ireland Women's U17 Head Coach James Scott to the club last Tuesday.

“Having worked in both boys and girls football it was a great evening for our members to gain valuable knowledge from James' experience given he has worked from grassroot level right up to international level,” said O’Day.
Recently elected councillor Tommy Griffin also attended.

“We acknowledge the fantastic support and work he put in last year with our Sports Capital Equipment Grant Application. This will significantly help the young boys and girls in the club to develop even further.
