All welcome to St Paul’s Basketball Club registration event this Friday
S
ST PAUL'S BASKETBALL CLUB will hold its annual registration and enrolment evening in Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre this Friday, September 9, from 6pm to 8pm.
The registration evening is open to boys and girls from under-8 to under-18 and all players will be catered for. Registration for the 'Little Dribblers' (under-8) will also take place on the evening. Club officers and team coaches will be available to meet with players and parents at this event.
It is important that all players register with the club on Friday, September 9, so that a sufficient amount of teams can be entered in the Kerry Area Board Leagues. Parents are asked to attend the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on the night with their children.
Anybody who can't attend will have to register with the club before the deadline day of September 23. Further registration details can be found on stpaulskillarney.ie and facebook.com/StPaulsKillarney
St Paul's would be delighted to welcome any new players interested in joining the club this season. The club would also appreciate the input of extra coaches as well. While most teams have a coach in place for the season ahead, the club is still looking for a coach and team manager for the U-12 and U-14 girls team and the U-11 boys team.
NEW COACH
Under the direction of new club chairman, Padraig Weldon, St Paul's have made very progressive steps in recent months towards the development of basketball coaching in Killarney. The club is delighted to announce that new Slovenian coach Muharem Vugdalic will arrive in Killarney on September 8 to take up the position of professional coach in the club.
A former Slovenian international, Muharem also has a very impressive international coaching record and he will oversee all coaching in St Paul's and will also help out with player development within the club. The new coach will also be working in the local schools reaching out to several more young players in the Killarney and East Kerry area.
The club is very grateful for the support of local businesses who have made it possible to bring in a foreign coach.
St. Paul's would be delighted to hear from any local business that is interested in getting involved with the club in any sponsorship capacity.
DIARY DATES
The St Paul's annual flag day will take place on Saturday, September 17.
The club’s golf classic will take place at Beaufort Golf Club on Saturday, October 23.

Kilcummin man opens New Zealand pub
A Kilcummin native living in New Zealand is appealing to the Kerry community for genuine local memorabilia to decorate his new Irish pub and deli on the other side of the world.
Cian Curtin and his wife are currently fitting out The Snug, a new venture located in New Brighton, a seaside suburb of Christchurch. By day, the venue will operate as a deli serving Irish staples such as breakfast rolls, chicken fillet rolls, home-made soda bread, and fresh milk. In the evenings, it will transform into a traditional neighbourhood pub featuring Irish food, drink, and live music.
Determined to create an authentic atmosphere rather than relying on generic decorations, Cian is calling on Kerry locals, businesses, and sports clubs to send over items with a real story behind them.
“Being from Kilcummin, there’ll naturally be plenty of Kerry influence around the place. One thing that’s particularly important to me is that the pub doesn’t end up filled with generic, newly made ‘Irish pub’ decorations. I’d much rather fill the walls gradually with genuine pieces from home that have a bit of history and a story behind them. If any local pubs, clubs, businesses or readers had an old sign, photograph, jersey, bar piece or other bit of Kerry memorabilia gathering dust that they thought deserved a new home on the other side of the world, I’d absolutely love to hear from them.”
