By Sean Moriarty
St Brendan’s College has launched a fundraiser to help offset expenses it will face in the Hogan Cup All-Ireland schools final.
The college has qualified for its fifth Hogan Cup final in the past 15 years – see main story on previous page.
“Supporting a colleges senior football panel to achieve at this level and undertaking to give the 36 young men the best possible opportunities to prepare properly does come with many challenges, some of them financial," said trainer Kevin Cronin.
"Our school has always had a close relationship with the community in Killarney and East Kerry and we have been supported in our preparation over the years by the families and staff in the school, by past pupils and by the business community. In setting up this iDonate page we are reaching out in search of any contribution towards the cost of buses, meals, accommodation for the St Brendan’s College Senior Football Panel 2022. We understand that these are challenging times and that post-pandemic Ireland is a difficult place for us all. Nevertheless we also know that the panel and management would be delighted with your good will and messages of support.”
