Monster 25 Card Drive: The long awaited Corduff GFC 25 Card Drive took place last Sunday. I think everyone will agree it was an enormous success and everyone had an enjoyable day, with plenty of card games, craic and fun. After an exciting final TM Smith Baileborough was the eventful winner of first prize €4000. The remaining finalist was Tony Callan, Tommy Marron, Hughie Mc Nally, Brendan Reilly, John Hamilton, Kevin Boylan, Ann Brennan and each received €500 each.

Thank You: A massive thank you to everyone who made the 25 Card Drive a success, to everyone who came out and played on Sunday and when heats were taking place, to everyone who sold tickets, those who held card games, those that help set up the hall, helped on the day organising the hall, those who helped prepare and serve the food. Without this help the card game would not be possible.
