Geeha kids show Irish pride at Turners Cross

On Sunday the Mastergeeha U9s made a memorable trip to Turners Cross in Cork to see the next generation of Ireland soccer stars in action.

The Geeha players witnessed a cracking match at the home of Cork City as the Ireland U21s defeat Iceland 2-1 in front of a crowd of 6,048. Mastergeeha’s coaches were proud to report that their academy players earned several remarks on how well-behaved they were and how much pride they showed in supporting the boys in green, and in singing Amhrann na bhFiann.

The Geeha players were looking great in their face paint provided by Emma Buckley and they made the news and LOI TV. They managed to get snaps with some of the Irish players and they also met Ireland legend Packie Bonner, FAI President Gerry McAnaney and FAI CEO Jonathan Hill. Ireland Head Coach Paul Osam paid a surprise visit to the Kerry Coaches bus

(driven by Noel) before departure and an invitation was extended to Paul to visit Kilbrean Park next time he’s in Killarney.

The club would like to thank Ciaran and all the team in Centra The Reeks for supplying lunches and treats for coaches and players.
