Local Hurling Match to raise money for the Youth of Wakatipu

Nationwide

Queenstown Charity Hurling match will be held on Saturday 9th June at the Recreational Ground Queenstown at 1pm. Queenstown Hurling Team ‘Band of Brothers’ will play against Wellington GAA to Support Wakatipu Youth Trust on this day.

Hurling is a traditional Irish sport and is a very hard hitting and skilful sport. It is classified as the fastest field sport in the world. Please support us on the day. We would love to raise as much money as possible for our local charity Wakatipu youth Trust. This is a local non for profit organisation here in Queenstown that work alongside young people aged 10-18 (up to 24) in our community. Their purpose is to guide and support young people in their personal, social and educational development to help them reach their full potential in society and make a successful transition to adult life.
