TRALEE Imperials Team Garveys will mark their match against Fr Matthews of Cork this Saturday with an Irish Cancer Society Breast Cancer Awareness initiative.

Patrons are invited to come along to the game wearing something pink and make a small donation to help to raise vital life-saving funds supporting breast cancer research and support services.

“Team Garveys Tralee are delighted to get the opportunity to help raise funds for this very worthwhile cause and invite all our supporters, both young and old to come along on the evening in pink and make a donation,” said Club Chairperson, John Dowling.

The side play their second home game of the Ladies National League Division One against Fr Matthews of Cork. The game will take place in Mercy Mounthawk gym at 7:30pm, Saturday evening.

So far this season, the Imperials side have won one and lost one. They get off to a great start to the year with a win away to IT Carlow, but lost last Saturday evening to a much fancied NUIG Mystics side.

They’ll want to get the show back on the road this Saturday and what better way to do it than a win over a Cork team.
