Kerry Stars Special Olympics Sports Club hosted the Vincent Lacke Memorial Soccer Tournament

The much-loved and recently deceased Kerry Stars Special Olympics Club member Vincent Lacke was remembered at a hugely successful soccer tournament held in Killarney on Sunday 9th February. 

The event saw men’s and women’s teams from Kerry, Cork and Tipperary take part in a series of soccer matches filled with enthusiasm and determined performances which provided a fitting tribute to the late Vincent, who had a passion for the beautiful game.

Vincent’s sister, Mary Lyne, was on hand to provide the winners’ trophies and medals to the athletes who put on several engaging spectacles at Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre.

Following the tournament, the Kerry Stars Soccer head coaches Kathleen Fitzgerald and Patrick Fuller expressed their immense pride in the athletes, who played with sportsmanship and skill all day.
