Field Development Update:
Progress continues on the pitch/perimeter fencing with the remaining uprights erected. The club wishes to thank all the volunteers who have given their time and effort in any way to help make this project a success.
All Ireland Finals Fundraising Raffle
To raise funds for the ongoing field development, the Club is running two separate raffles for tickets to the All Ireland Hurling and the All Ireland Football Finals. The raffle tickets cost €5 (with discounts for multiple purchases) and the prize in each raffle is a pair of stand tickets to the All Ireland. The campaign will be run via social media with the intended audience being GAA supporters of the counties involved in the finals, though it is open to everyone.
We will be using targeted sponsored social media ads but we need your assistance to spread the word as well. It would be great if you could share our social media ads (they will be posted after the semi-finals) so that they gain traction to ensure the biggest possible audience.
