Episode Details

Cathal Sweeney, a 16-year-old student, won the Student Enterprise Programme with his business, Glow Ball. He invented rechargeable glow-in-the-dark sliotars to improve winter hurling practice, which have already sold over €40,000. The idea came from his frustration with losing balls in the dark. The sliotars use phosphorus materials charged by a UV light, providing five minutes of visibility. GAA players appreciate them for enhancing winter sessions. Cathal has expanded to multi-colored versions and is working on match-weight sliotars.
