Turners Bar turnout for Kerry Hospice
Now in its third year, the Turners Bar Soccer tournament took place on Easter Sunday in the Low Field and it was a huge success raising money for the Kerry Hospice Palliative Care Unit.
The event has been organised for the past three years by Thomas Ward, John ‘Bubbles’ Hegarty, Andy Keane, Joe Sheridan and Aidan Turner - all the ‘boys’ played soccer through the years and the tournament was a fun event with the ‘oldies playing the young ones’ and the ‘oldies’ winning 6 to 3.
The players are mostly all patrons of Turners Bar and play soccer locally - the event was unique for the Ward family in that Thomas Ward and his brother Timmy both played as goalies - Thomas in goals for the older gang and Timmy for the youngsters.
