Kerry Schools Invited To Take Part In FAI Programme

 

Announcement of SPAR as the Official Convenience Retail Partner of the FAI
Republic of Ireland Manager Martin O’Neill, FAI Chief Executive John Delaney, BWG Group Chief Executive Leo Crawford and BWG Foods Managing Director Willie O’Byrne were at the Aviva Stadium where SPAR were announced as the title sponsor for the Primary School 5’s Programme; a national five aside competition for boys and girls in 4th, 5th and 6th classes. SPAR are also the new Official Convenience Retail Partner of the FAI.

KERRY schools received the good news over the weekend that the ‘SPAR Primary School 5s Programme’ is now allowing entrants from schools all over the county.

The programme is a national five aside competition for boys and girls in 4th, 5th and 6th class which will see them compete in a blitz format.

The teams will first compete at county level and if successful will move on to regional and national level.

With over 1,038 schools participating in the competition last year, the competition will be sure present some tough competition to those participating from Kerry.

With the prospect of an Aviva Stadium visit to play in the finals a possibility though, we’re sure that this will spur the schools and pupils on to higher levels.

The ‘SPAR Primary School 5s Programme’ starts this month and runs until May, with final being held on May 14.

Information on entering the SPAR Primary School 5s Programme has been sent to 1,000 schools. For more information please check out the website here.
