National Feile 2018 - To Friends of our Club: As our U14 Hurlers will be representing Down in the National Feile competition in Galway on the 8th, 9th & 10th of June the club has undertaken a major fundraising drive to collate the necessary funds that will be required to facilitate this trip. Our team will be hosted by Ballinasloe of Galway, 25 years after being hosted by the same club. Would you, as a family or club member be willing to make a donation that will assist in covering these additional expenses. Alternatively if you would like to be a major sponsor for the team i.e. kit bags, polo shirts etc. contact Colum Conlan by email on [email protected] or on his mobile at 07792780356, and you can discuss potential options. It is planned to advertise all submitted donations in the Down Recorder and Facebook, the week prior to the team going south with a message of good luck from our sponsors and families. All donations received will be greatly appreciated and completely confidential. Thank you, Regards, Colum Conlan, Juvenile Secretary.
