Talented young Carrick Davins hurler, Sultan Mahmud Sabbir, will appear on RTE 2's After School Hub tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at 3.20pm.
Sultan recently won an U-12 hurling title in Tipperary with Carrick Davins, and is one of many children to benefit from the strong relationship between the club and Bridgewater House, a direct provision centre in Carrick-on-Suir.
Sultan recently told RTE News that playing hurling had made him feel a part of his new community.
"Hurling is so special," he said.
"When you play a game, you feel like you're in a county final. At first, when I started playing I had one or two friends but then learned to know different people, different cultures and I felt happy."
The connection between the club and Bridgewater House was first made by club-member Noreen Robinson over ten years ago and has proven to be a hugely positive and mutually beneficial relationship.
"When families arrive, I get the kids involved in sport straight away," says Martina Walsh, Community Liaison Officer with Bridgewater House. "It's just a great way of integrating them.
"In direct provision, it is tough on them being inside. Being outside in fresh air and meeting people, sport is just so good."
