The World Medical Football Championship gets underway in Barcelona on July 9.
The Irish Medical Football team are appealing for help after gear to the value of €2,300 was stolen from the car of one of their squad members just days before they depart for the World Medical Football Championship.
27 training tops, 20 jerseys, 25 pairs of shorts and 25 pairs of socks were stolen from the car of Ronan McDermott, a goalkeeper with the Irish Medical Football team, in Drumcondra on Saturday.
Gardai are currently investigating the incident, but with just over a week to go until the start of the tournament, the Irish Medical Football team are appealing for any information that might lead to the kit being recovered.
