With this success the athletes have been giving the opportunity to try out for trials to represent Ireland.
An achievement in its own right.
If the athletes are successful they will be heading to Barcelona in June 2014.
With this great news, also comes the need for a lot of fundraising to help make our Clubs dream a reality.

26-01-2013: A note on club fundraising.
Wolfe Tone Youth Club organises a number of fundraising initiatives throughout the year.
We run a weekly Lucky Numbers draw in conjunction with Ballywaltrim FC, the cost of this is €2 per envelope.
We run bag-packing events in the local supermarkets. Club members and parents volunteer their time for these events.
Our Christmas Draw is our major annual fundraiser. Members sell the tickets and return them to the club with the money raised.
The club needs to fundraise for a number of reasons. We have the cost of running and maintaining the Community Centre. Bookings for the Centre are down significantly but the bills still need to be paid. Membership fees are slow to come in but the club still has to pay League fees, training fees, coach education, etc.
In 2013 we hope to begin work on renovating the pavilion building. Unfortunately we received no funding from the Sports Capital programme. We will provide first class changing facilities which will be available for all the users of the Temple Sportsfield. We hope to also do some work on the pitches, mainly drainage.
The cost of this to the club is significant so our fundraising efforts will continue. We need everyone to support us in this- to buy the Lucky Numbers envelopes each week, to volunteer for the bag-packs and to support our Christmas Draw.

18-01-2013: All WDSL games off this weekend 19th- 20th January.
