A RECENT training session for Transplant Sport Ireland athletes was held at Kilcullen Community Centre, with the contestants who will represent Ireland at the upcoming World Championships in Germany in August.
The team members are transplant recipients of heart, lung, liver, bone marrow, kidney and pancreas organs and by their participation they are highlighting the success of organ donation, according to Kilcullen businessman and kidney transplant veteran James Nolan.
"Transplant Sport Ireland would like to thank Newbridge Athletic Club’s Alan Beale for doing a fantastic stretching and warm-up session with everyone," said James. "Also Kilcullen AFC’s Nicky Kelly and his volunteers for helping our soccer team out. It was great to see such a huge crowd, especially the people who travelled a fair distance to attend."
James also expressed the appreciation of the visitors to manager Enda O’Neill and his team at the Kilcullen Community Centre for hosting the training day.
