For many years Ballymun Kickhams underage teams have been hosted by the kind communities of the Warwickshire G.A.A. in both Coventry and Birmingham. They are bringing an Under 12 team over next month as they are competing in a tournament in Newbridge on Saturday 9th July. They are playing an exhibition match in Croke Park on the day of the Leinster Final July 10th.

They have asked if Ballymun Kickhams could host 24 children which would mean at least 12 houses as it would be 2 children per house. Ideally if we could host them in houses where there are children of a similar age.

As I said they will be with their team in Croke Park during the day and Eoin Dolan’s team will be organising an activity with the children on the Sunday evening before being dropped off to their host family for the night at approximately 9pm.

Thus it’s only from Sunday night at 9 to Monday morning that we require volunteer families.

I know that this would be a slight  imposition but speaking from my own time in Birmingham, it is a great experience for all and I know we would be reciprocated many times over the next time we are in Warwickshire.

I hope people can be of assistance as it would be great to return the favour to these people who have been so kind to us.

If you can be of assistance or know some parents from your team who could please email Eoin Dolan at eoind87@hotmail.com
