The Irish Embassy Pub hosts a fundraiser for the FLC soccer teams

 

The #1 Fort Lewis College Men’s Soccer Team is headed to Tampa, FL for the NCAA Division II Final Four National Tournament to try to reclaim the national title for the program’s second time ever, and the Irish Embassy Pub is rallying them on. The Embassy is planning a celebration/fundraiser after the team arrives home on Sunday. The private party will kickoff at 5:00pm at the Irish Embassy Pub, and both the men’s and women’s soccer teams will be in attendance. A limited number of tickets are being sold. Ticket prices include food and drinks at the pub, with all proceeds being donated to the FLC soccer scholarship fund.

Long supporters of soccer, the Irish Embassy viewed this as a chance to celebrate with the teams, to congratulate them both on an amazing year, and to help raise money for the teams (both men and women) for next year. “This is what an Irish pub does. We’ve sponsored the teams since our inception, and we want to give the teams the opportunity to be successful again next year,” said Embassy owner John Fingleton. Fingleton is also headed to Tampa this week to show his support for the men’s team.

Not to be overlooked, the Skyhawk Women’s Soccer made a fantastic run this season winning the RMAC Tournament for the third time in four years. Senior defender Nichole Kluk received RMAC Defensive Player of the Year, and head coach Damian Clarke was named RMAC Coach of the Year.

Led by Ireland native Interim Coach Oige Kennedy, the Men’s Soccer Team will take on Le Moyne University in the semifinal game in Tampa on December 3rd at 9:00am MT. The winner of that game will advance to the championship game of the National Tournament on December 5th at 1:30pm MT. Both games will be broadcast live at the Irish Embassy.

Tickets to the End of Season Celebration Fundraiser are $50 each and are available at the Irish Embassy Pub. Call 970-903-5695 for more information.
