Raheny Utd v Shelbourne FC

Raheny United’s AUL Premier A team will take on Owen Heary’s League of Ireland Shelbourne side in a friendly match on the new All Weather pitch in St. Annes Park, Raheny at 2 o’clock on Sunday September 3rd.

The game will be a joint fundraiser where 50% of any gate proceeds will go to Down Syndrome Dublin.

Chris McDonnell 1st team Coach of Raheny United commented “We are delighted to be able to bring a team with the caliber of Shelbourne FC to our new top of the range All Weather pitch in the heart of Raheny in St. Anne’s Park. It is equally satisfying to be able to support Down Syndrome Dublin who do tremendous support work in our community”

Bernie Dixon of Down Syndrome Dublin commented “We are very grateful to Raheny United FC for this collaboration – we are a non-funded charity therefore all of our resources are run by volunteers and funded by charitable donations and fundraising efforts. Our volunteers are parents of children with Down Syndrome and enable us to run services such as speech & occupational therapy for our kids.”
