THERE was a real family feel to the activities at the sports grounds at IT Tralee on Saturday as Woodies DIY Tralee hosted a soccer tournament.

There was a great turnout with 15 teams playing for the Charity Cup and Shield.

It was all part of Woodies Tralee’s fundraising efforts in aid of Make-A-Wish; Temple Street; Jack and Jill and Act for Meningitis.

It’s part of a national campaign, and over the last two years, Woodie’s Ireland have raised over €400,000 for Children’s Charities. The Tralee store has raised over €11,000 in the two years.

The Charity Cup was won by Tesco Manor West 3-1 in a close fought final with Borgwarner. JRI Tralee were the winners of the Shield competition, defeating Rora FC 2-1.

Woodies wanted to thank IT Tralee, Ballyroe Hotel, Subway, Cliffords to mention a few for their sponsorship and everyone else who supported on the day.

They are well on their way to reaching their target of €4,000.

There is also a Monster Prize Draw on Saturday 19th August and the Tralee team will be cycling instore on a static bike challenge. Scroll down for photos…
