Thurles Order Of Malta Cadets Prepare For All-Ireland Challenge After Cork Success.

Thurles Order of Malta (Ireland) Cadet Leader Mr Thomas Burke Reports:

All roads led to Cork this weekend as the Southern Region Order of Malta Cadet Competitions took centre stage.
Over the past number of months, cadets and leaders have dedicated countless hours to training and refining their skills in First Aid and Assisted Activities of Daily Living.

Their hard work, commitment, and determination paid off, with cadets achieving outstanding success across all categories entered.
The celebrations continued as cadets and leaders proudly brought silverware back to Thurles, following a highly successful weekend of competition.

Attention now turns to the All-Ireland Competitions, which will take place in Fermanagh this July, where the team will continue training and preparing to represent their region with pride once again.
