Kevin Kilbane will be in Athlone IT from 3pm on Friday 14th August to help launch the 2015 HSE Community Games Festival. Kevin will be on hand when the first event, soccer, kicks off at the beginning of two hectic weekends.

Thousands of children and their families from all over Ireland will be descending on Athlone over the next two weekends with the hopes of walking away with a much coveted medal but more importantly with new friends and memories. The 2015 Community Games Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the introduction of several new age categories there are 600 more participants than last year.

Admission for spectators on any day is €5 and as always is free for children aged under 16.
