Club Notes - 31st October


Jack The Joker
No. Drawn - 8
Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue this Sunday night in Kennedy’s Live at 8pm where the Jackpot will be €4,164 as on Sunday night Kay O’Connor was drawn out of the drum but did not find the Joker, however he does win €50 plus a bonus of €250 as she won the Bank Holiday Bonus for turning a picture card, while Tony Mahoney and Mairead and AJ won €25.  We appeal to all our supporters to continue purchasing the tickets as the funds raised will go towards our ongoing development works at the club grounds.

The Brawl in the Hall
Our club has teamed up with Brickey Rangers in a novel fundraising event called “The Brawl in the Hall” organised by White Collar Boxing.  The official launch took place on Saturday last at Bushy Park with a weigh-in and opponents coming face to face for the first time.  Training will commence in the near future so all boxers will be in prime condition in time for the big night.  The event takes place on Saturday, 15th December at Dungarvan Sports Centre with tickets priced at €10.  These will be available shortly.  More details to follow in the coming weeks.
