The Galway footballer and former Kilcoole player Shane Walsh was on hand in Galway this week to help the club launch their new gym. The club is on target to reach €20,000 in funding to finish off this fine facility, speaking at the launch the club vice chairman said via Galway Beo;
“Shane is a super star. He couldn’t have been nicer. Our nurseries kids were all there on Saturday training and he must have spent over three hours with the crowd – who loved every minute. Shane even sang happy birthday to a couple of kids, he said”
On the club Facebook page it also said; “We had a wonderful morning at our gym launch yesterday, we couldn’t have asked for it to go better.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to meet Shane Walsh and have him join us for the morning. An absolute gent and the kids adored him. He spoke so fondly of his own club at home and the strides they made when the parish rowed in together and everyone helped out.”
