Planning your bank holiday activities?

If you fancy getting the gang out for a bit of exercise and fresh air on Saturday, May 4th, a brilliant local group could do with your help.

West Cork’s pioneering mixed-ability rugby squad, the West Cork Jesters, are holding a fundraiser from 10am in Pairc Na gCearta (Forge Park), Rosscarbery.

The fun family-friendly day out will see participants run, walk, hop, or skip together to raise much-needed funds for the local rugby squad whose emphasis is on promoting inclusivity in sport.

“With players from Kilbrittain to Kenmare, and everywhere in between, Jesters’ teams play full-on contact rugby aided by experienced players, some who act as shadow players, which allows everyone to participate,” they told us.

“Sunday’s fundraiser is open to adults and children of all ages, families, wheelchair users….complete inclusivity, and will help to fund our clubhouse, outdoor training facilities, bespoke boxing gym and indoor strength and fitness areas.”

With lots of great prizes to be won on the day, it’s sure to be a fantastic family day out, in aid of an amazing local cause.
