Will it be four in a row for Roscommon Special Olympics? Hopes are high and anticipation is building as all thoughts turn to the sporting and social event of the year – which is almost upon us.
It’s all happening at Roscommon Community Sports Park, Lisnamult on Friday, September 20th at 7 pm sharp when Roscommon Special Olympics take on a Roscommon Garda Selection in this superb tournament.
This is the 4th year of this event and hopes are high that the Roscommon Special Olympics team will take the title for a 4th year in a row. This team will have their work cut out against a Garda team who are believed to be in training since suffering an 8-9 defeat after penalties in 2023.
Roscommon Special Olympics have made a few new quality signings since last year, their training has been going well and they are hugely looking forward to September 20th. The winners will lift the Maire Allen Memorial Cup, donated in fond memory of a wonderful lady who was a huge part of our club, but who sadly passed away in September 2023.
Please come out and support both teams who put their heart and soul into this event every year. It promises to be fun-filled and entertaining. Without doubt all spectators are guaranteed a wonderful night’s entertainment and there is sure to be a surprise or two on the night. Don’t forget to join us for refreshments straight after the game where no doubt every shot will be analysed and every goal scrutinised.
Organisers are indebted to Roscommon Community Sports Park committee for the use of their premises and to Comhaltas Roscommon for adding to the night with their beautiful music.
