Dr Crokes kids enjoy poc fada competition

The Dr Crokes Hurling Academy held their annual fun long puck competition in Tomies Wood on Sunday last.

The children and their mentors took boats from Ross Castle to O’Sullivans Cascade and the contest took place around Tomies Wood. The budding hurlers were then treated to some food and a prizegiving at Kate Kearney's Cottage.

This ‘poc fada’ event is one of many fun initiatives being staged by the Dr Crokes club to promote underage hurling in the Killarney area. Crokes’ Hurling Academy runs every Saturday morning from 10am to 11am followed by football from 11.15am to 12.15am.

All coaches are fully qualified and from hurling backgrounds in Kerry and further afield. All children from Killarney and the surrounding areas are welcome to play.
