Fundraising Table Quiz; What great support from the community!

What a great night we had at our first ever table quiz to raise funding for our various sides in particular our Feile U14 side heading to Carlow in June. A full house of competitors put the grey matter to the test with some superbly set, tough but fair, questions by Mark Argue and Caroline.

When the final tally was done it showed team McEntee, Tosh, Tara, Jason and Ann were popular winners followed closely by Oliver Tierney/Pat Argue team. Both teams kindly donated their prizes back to the Club which was very generous of them.

Our raffle was a great success with all sections of the club putting the shoulder to the wheel to raise much needed funding.

1st prize Lawn Mower Mason Cooper

2nd prize Riverside Spa Voucher Tara McCabe

Bottle of Hennessy Martina Byrne

Bottle of Hennessy Nicholas Comey

Bottle of Hennessy Hugh T O' Reilly

Bottle of Whiskey Toby Cundelan

Bottle of Vodka Tommy Brady

2 bottles of wine Mel Hutchinson.
