SPORTS and radio stars were out in force to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ireland hosting the Special Olympics.
Former Dublin GAA football hero Jason Sherlock captained a team that took on athletes from Carmona Cougars Special Olympics Club and Palmerstown Wildcats Special Olympics Club in a series of sports.
Sherlock was joined by fellow All-Ireland winners Eamon Fennell and Tomas Quinn, Olympian Natalya Coyle, broadcaster Nora Owen, and Dublin's mayor.
Special Olympics CEO Matt English said: "Special Olympics will not stop until every person who has an intellectual disability has the opportunity to participate in a sport."
