Two new pop ups were unveiled on the day along with the new crest and promotional pins, pens and ties were given out to the Board and our current qualified referees. We will be handing these out to our members during the season.
We wish to thank SB Ireland for their help and support along with Nora Stapleton of WIS at Sport Ireland for the funding. Thanks to Bernie, Paul and staff of Sharkx for all their support
A big thank you to our Board members who have been so supportive and worked hard over the years in order for this special day to arrive and in doing so, makes for a bright future for the development and promotion of Female Cue Sports here in Ireland
