THE Rose Cup will return this year to take place on Saturday, August 20.

The Tralee Town Board in association with the Rose of Tralee Festival are organising the competition and they have welcomed the Bon Secours Hospital in Tralee on board this year as the main sponsor.

Sixteen clubs will take part —including clubs from Limerick, Waterford and Cork — in the games at two venues at Kerins O’Rahillys grounds at Ballyrickard and at Na Gaeil’s pitches in Killeen.
