A Ballyfermot man is hoping to bring glory to his home town as he sets out to take part in this year's Special Olympics World Games in Berlin on Sunday.
Keith Doyle, 39, is from Ballyfermot Crescent in Ballyfermot, Dublin and he's got a great love and passion for tenpin bowling, which he's played for 20 years. Keith currently bowls with Metro South Bowling Club in Charlestown and he has been selected as part of the bowling team at the Special Olympics which begins on June 17.
Special Olympics Ireland will send a team of 73 athletes which includes Keith as well as a 36-strong coaching and management team to compete in 12 sports at the World Games in Berlin, Germany which runs from 17 to 25 June. Speaking to Dublin Live, Keith's proud auntie Ann Killeen said they are "so proud" of Keith and that the entire community is rallying around him.
