There was a warm and welcoming atmosphere on Friday night past in the social club when the U8 and U10 football teams came together in a fundraising event to raise funds to bring both teams to the Capital city for a football match with local clubs and a visit to GAA Headquarters.
The management teams, under the leadership of Johnny Rooney worked tirelessly for weeks to secure quiz sponsorship & fantastic raffle prizes for the night. After all the hard work they have secured a final total of just over £1400, a fantastic achievement to ensure the young teams enjoy a team bonding day out in Dublin in May. Many thanks to everyone who supported the event, to quiz master Aislíng McGivern for ensuring the smooth running of the night & Willy Gallagher for manning the bar all night.
Congratulations to the winning team 4@thedoor who kindly donated their prize money back & to club chairman Eugene Gallagher who won top prize in the raffle of Afternoon Tea in the Slieve Donard.
Many thanks to our sponsors on the night for kinldy sponsoring each of the rounds of the quiz; IrwinCarr consultants, Gordons Chemists, McCartan Bros Newry, Allied bakeries, The Laundry Rathfriland, Glen Minibus services Ballymartin, Campbell & Grant solicitors Newry, John Daly painting, Peter Shannon, Deli lites, Cunningham Haulage and Tribe Hairdressing Newry.
