Deise Development Draw
The first Deise Draw for 2014 took place on Friday night last and we had two winners on the night. Claire and Dennis Murray won €400 and Michael and Noreen Brackett won €300. We would like to thank all those who purchased tickets for the draw as we are delighted with the fantastic response our loyal supporters gave the draw.

Fundraising Cycle
We are delighted to report that there has been a truly fantastic response to our Fundraising Cycle from Limerick to Abbeyside. Liam O’Connor and his group of helpers have done a huge amount of work to date and now have the 24 cyclists signed up for the full cycle which is the maximum amount allowed to do the full cycle due to health and safety guidelines. The second leg of the cycle is from Cappoquin to Abbeyside and this part of the cycle is open to all club members and supporters, whilst the last leg of the cycle will be from Quills to Abbeyside and it is hoped that as many as possible of our members both young and old will join the cycle there, to give the 24 brave cyclists who are doing the full cycle, a final push for home. Liam informs us that the formal launch for the cycle will be taking place in late June in our pitch and we will have more details on this closer to the time. In the meantime anybody who has any questions on the cycle or who would like to volunteer to help in anyway should contact any of the people listed below. This event promises to be a huge success and we urge all our supporters and members to lend a hand in whatever way you can.
