Foster Horan from Gorey has qualified for the upcoming Olympics as part of the Irish Rugby Sevens team. The team qualified recently after a surprise win over France.

Bertram Allen from Enniscorthy is delighted to have been picked on the Irish showjumping Olympic team saying, “I am very grateful to be nominated to represent Team Ireland at the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer... To compete for my country on the Olympic stage is a tremendous honour for me! I am also incredibly proud of my Irish-bred partner Pacino Amiro, who has kept on getting better and better this season to reach the highest level despite his young age! I am also very grateful to Pacino's owner Aiden McGrory. Together, we will put in our best effort!” n

Kilmore United FC, Wexford County winners in the recent Texaco Support for Sport initiative, has been presented with a cheque for €5,000 to be used to carry out further development of its Abbie Troy Park grounds. One of almost 400 clubs countrywide to make application under the scheme, Kilmore United has a 190-strong membership and fields two men's teams, six under-18 teams and one women’s team. In their winning submission, the club revealed plans to complete the development of its Abbie Troy Park grounds, named in memory of a young female member who passed away

KILMORE UNITED FC RECEIVES TEXACO FUNDING OF €5,000 suddenly in 2017 at the very young age of 16 years, and to allocate funds to attract more young women and girls to participate in sport. The presentation was made to the Club by Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited – the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand. Under its Texaco Support for Sport initiative, launched last September, a fund of €130,000 was set aside for allocation in equal amounts of €5,000 to successful applicants chosen on a county-by-county basis. Overseeing the adjudication process was Texaco Support for Sport ambassador, former Irish rugby international and broadcaster, Donncha O’Callaghan. Entries to the Texaco Support for Sport 2021 initiative will open this Autumn. n

Enniscorthy Hockey Club held their AGM on Friday the 4th of June via Zoom.
