Pickleball – One of the fastest growing new sports in the world is coming to Corduff Raferagh Community Centre. Monaghan Sports Partnership is running a taster session in the Community Centre this Monday 23rd September at 11 am, during European Week of Sports 2024. Pickleball is a cross between tennis and badminton, with its own unique paddles and soft ball. Many retired or semi-retired people are taking up the sport for the social and exercise benefits. You don’t have to be a sports person, many who play Pickleball are new to sport and enjoying their new found interest. If you would like more details call Bernie on 087 9555762 or Pauline on 087 2977091.
