A CLARE PRIMARY school student is to kick a score and split a sliotar between the posts in every GAA ground in the county, all in aid of the West Clare Cancer Centre.

Nine year old Odhran Troy is completing the Shine A Light Challenge on Wednesday and Thursday of this week by attempting to score two points, one with a hurley and sliotar, the other with a gaelic football in all fifty three official GAA pitches in Clare.

Odhran who is a student in Clarecastle NS commences the challenge in Doonaha in the grounds of O’Currys at 9am on Wednesday and finishes the day in Tubber shortly before 7pm.

On Thursday, he will start in Captain Tubridy Park in Kilrush at 9am and end the journey by hitting the target in Cusack Park at approximately 7:30pm.

He said of the challenge, “I decided to create a fundraiser and donate all monies received to that wonderful charity, West Clare Cancer Centre”.

To date he has raised over €4,000 and further donations can be made online.
