Singlets for Community Games

Kilcullen Credit Union has presented a set of 30 singlets to the town's Community Games Committee.

This follows the sponsoring of a set of track suits two years ago, which helped the team in the County Finals win a prize for being the best turned out group.

Presenting the singlets, Credit Union Chairman Pat Stafford said it was wonderful to see such a vibrant group in the town. He congratulated them on their past successes, and said he looked forward to 'more of the same' in the future.

"Sport is so essential in today's world," he said, "in keeping healthy, active, and in giving something to your team and belonging to the community. It is also important that the youngsters should take part in sport in a fun kind of environment, rather than being about winning at all costs."

He said the Credit Union has a policy of supporting local groups, and this was an example of that policy.

Margaret Kissane accepted the singlets on behalf of the Community Games Committee, and said that it was a 'delight' to see so many children involved.
