Results Update: Congratulations to Ciarán Kilkenny and his Dublin colleagues on another superb display in beating Laois by 2-23 0-07 in the Leinster Football Semi-Final. Ciarán scored 1-4 on his 44th championship appearance for Dublin. Dublin now meet old rivals Meath in next Saturday’s Leinster Football Final (Nov.21) at 7pm. The game will be televised by RTE Sport.
Ciarán has also recently teamed up with SPAR nationally as a Brand Ambassador (Mark Jones of SPAR Carpenterstown being one of our own Club Sponsors) to launch their new Better Choices campaign.
The campaign looks to support families in choosing healthy active lifestyles with Ciarán Kilkenny setting a fun challenge for children to undertake with their family members. Throughout the month of November, Ciarán is releasing three different skills videos, which will show children how to improve their parents’ or other family members’ sporting abilities much as he did with Castleknock during the first Lockdown.
As well as skills, Ciarán will be on the lookout for effort and enthusiasm from each family, with the winning child receiving a training session for their class with Ciarán himself, while runners up will receive sporting goods vouchers courtesy of SPAR.
Details of the challenges, which can be completed in a garden or any compact outdoor area with minimal equipment, along with how to enter the competition are available on SPAR’s social media pages and YouTube channel throughout November.
