We would greatly appreciate if there were any helmets/ small sized hurleys that your children no longer use or have outgrown. If you would consider donating to the club. We have lots of kids starting off their hurling journey who I’m sure would greatly appreciate it and would get good use from them.
If you can help, please make contact 0879715781 Thanks a million
