Although Ireland’s hopes of appearing in a rugby World Cup Semi Final are over for this year, our own local young man Oisin O Neill will still take to the pitch in Twickenham this weekend. Oisín will be the match ball delivery person ahead of the game between Argentina and Australia this Sunday 25th of October at 4pm. This once in a lifetime opportunity was afforded to him by his cousin Jason Roddy from Buninadden, Co. Sligo. Jason who won a competition earlier in the year with DHL, is a keen rugby player himself with Carrick On Shannon. As part of the prize Jason got the opportunity to take an 8-15 year old with him to act as ball bearer and Oisín was the one in the family who fitted the bill! Their prize will include VIP match tickets, flights, two nights accommodation and all transfers along with DHL rugby kits. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and one which will never be forgotten. Enjoy every minute and we will all be watching out for you.
