THE Oaklands Daybreak Rose Cup Under 13 Boys Football Tournament will again be hotly contested during the 2016 Rose of Tralee International Festival.

It was fitting that the Kerry Rose, Danielle O’Sullivan, should launch this year’s competition as her local club Killarney Legion will be aiming to retain the cup which they won last year.

This year’s event will see 16 teams from Kerry and beyond battle it out for the Rose Cup and Rose Shield.

The Communications Manager for the Rose of Tralee, John Drummey, said: “Now in its eighth year, this competition is a prestigious event on the GAA Juvenile calendar in Ireland and it will be organised by Coiste Trá Lí under the banner of the Rose of Tralee International Festival. We look forward to welcoming the players, supporters and their families to Tralee for the Festival. We are also delighted that Oaklands Daybreak have continued to sponsor the competition once again.”

The tournament will get underway at 10am on Saturday 20th August at two Tralee GAA venues – Kerins O’Rahilly’s and Na Gaeil.

The Rose Cup and Rose Shield will be presented to the winning captains at Na Gaeil CLG by the Rose of Tralee, Elysha Brennan and James O’Donoghue from Oaklands Daybreak, Listowel Road, Tralee.
