THE Park lads could have the cutting edge on the opposition this weekend after a trip to Claude Monte in The Square.
The Under 16 team are the first Kerry team to play in an ‘A’ level National Cup final when they travel to Dublin to face St Kevin’s Boys at 4pm. Whatever happens, they’re bound to look good on the field after their visit to the barber.
Club secretary, Martin Conway, explained the reason for the visit on Friday.
“You’d see the teams in England doing something similar before a cup final so I thought we’d give the boys a bit of a boost. I said at least we’ll be the best looking team up there on Sunday!” laughed Martin.
“Everyone is feeling good, there is a great buzz around the club and everyone is well up for it,” said manager Graham O’Sullivan.
Darryl Vesey of Claude Monte said he was delighted to accommodate the lads.
“We’re over the moon to do this for them and we hope they can do it for Tralee and Kerry on Sunday,” said Darryl.
The boys were in great spirits and looking forward to the match. Maybe with the heads shorn of hair, it’ll make them more aerodynamic on the pitch!
