Ball Wall
Last Monday morning was a proud morning for the club as Minister for Education Norma Foley officially opened the brand new wing of Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn (GSME) as well as a new astroturf facility and ball wall, the first and only ball wall in the town of Tralee. Tralee Parnells, along with Na Gaeil, jointly supported the Sports Capital Grant application for the new astroturf and ball wall facility in early 2021. The application was successful and with the completion of the facility, the club will have full access to the ball wall outside of school hours. This will be a great addition the club and provide an opportunity for all players to practice their skills year-round. Final details are being worked out with GSME, but it is hoped that the wall will be available to use at weekends within a few months. Plans are being worked out to install lighting on site so the wall can be used during the winter months. At the official opening, pupils of GSME and Tralee Parnells Academy members Danny Brick, Michael Broughton, Adam Quill and Conor Reidy had the honour of being the first players to use the new ball wall and show off their skills to the Minister. Well done boys and hopefully you are the first of many Parnells girls and boys that get to use this fantastic facility.
