SportsAbility Day launched by Orla Barry & Aisling Thompson
On Saturday April 9th the Cork SportsAbility Day sponsored by
Blackwater Motors Volkswagen will take place at the UCC Mardyke Arena
from 12-3:30pm. The event was launched recently at Blackwater Motors,
Turners Cross by Paralympic medallist Orla Barry & Cork Camogie
star Aisling Thomson. The SportsAbility Day is a showcase and
information day for all things SportsAbility in Cork.
Padraig Healy, Sports Inclusion Disability Officer with Cork Sports
Partnership stated “Find Your Sport is the slogan for this years event
and it is fitting as the event aims to get people of all abilities
participating in physical activity. This years SportsAbility Day will
be bigger & better than ever before with a wide range of come &
try sessions taking place including wheelchair rugby, special yoga,
archery, blind football to name just a few. We will also have over 30
information stands from a wide range of clubs & organisations. We
are delighted to announce a sensory room will be on site for any
visitors who need some quiet time during the day”.
Jean Murphy of Blackwater Motors Volkswagen said “we are excited to be
sponsors of such a positive event promoting sport for all abilities.
The initiative behind SportsAbility Day is great as it not
only creates a wider awareness about sports inclusion but it gives
people with a disability the opportunity to get involved in range of
sports and find one that suits their interest all in the one
venue”.
This years special guest is former sports commentator Micheál O
Muircheartaigh. This event is not to be missed and suitable for anyone
