The charity match is due to take place at Kilkenny’s Fair Green on Saturday, July 4

Two Kilkenny brothers have come together to raise funds for Pieta House in memory of their late father.

Tom Wall tragically died by suicide in May of this year, leaving behind a heartbroken family.

In his memory, a charity football match will be held on the Fair Green in the city later this summer.

“To tell you a little bit about my dad he was a brilliant husband and father, a great family man and a coach. He was my football and hurling manager throughout my childhood,” Tom’s son Brandan posted to their GoFund Me Page.

“My dad done a lot of voluntary work throughout his adult life and taught his family to give back to the world.

“That is why we are organising a football charity match on the 4th of July in the Fair Green pitch (Kilkenny) at 2.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come to show support or even come have a chat.”

At the time of writing, €7,164 has been raised by the public.

“We would appreciate any donations of any amount,” the post concluded. - DONATE HERE
