Nenagh Garda District Sports Day

Nenagh gardaí hosted the inaugural Sports Day for all primary schools in the District at Nenagh Éire Óg GAA Grounds, MacDonagh Park recently.

The event has been organised in memory of two local members of the force, Garda Deirdre Darcy Hogan and Garda Sinead Hennessy, who were much loved and valued members of the force, who passed away far too soon. Some 29 primary schools attended and enjoyed competing in team-based events where team building and communication skills were exhibited.

Our Little Blue Heroes Honorary Gardaí Julie Collins and Shaye Collins were on hand to keep order.

A big thank you to Community Relations, the Garda Mounted Unit, the Garda Water Unit and the Armed Support Unit for helping out. The event was run by Midland Escape with Supermacs the main sponsors.
