Ladies Night at the races

Yes all roads lead to the Lynch West County Hotel this Saturday
night, April 21st, for an evening of fun and entertainment – and
an odd flutter on the fillies also – as the Clare Ladies Football
Board hold a fundraising Race Night in support of their county
teams. The white flag will be raised at 8.30pm sharp and the tape
goes up for the off of the first race at 8.45pm. What follows
will be an eleven race mixed card with a variety of races to suit
all tastes – including auction races (for the equine fillies)
and novelty races (Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer round the hall
handicap etc.).

No bets will be barred in this evening of fun and entertainment
and the Clare Ladies Board are hoping for a big turn out of sports
supporters to assist them in defraying the costs involved in preparing
county teams. The indomitable Joe Lillis will be compére for the
night so plenty of fun assured there. On a more serious note though
the Ladies Board is hoping for big support and is especially hopeful
that all clubs (GAA, Ladies Football and Camogie) will row in
behind this fundraising initiative. The Clare Ladies flagship
team stands a very good chance of honours in this year’s All Ireland
Intermediate Championship and is very hopeful of a Croke Park
appearance next September. The county U-14’s and U-16’s are also
hopeful of a very big year and are confident of their chances
of bringing some silverware back to the county again in 2007.

It may not be Aintree, Ascot or Cheltenham but the West County
on Saturday night could be the place to recoup the Numbersixvalverde
or Hardy Eustace losses while assisting a good cause. So put on
the glad-rags this Saturday and head for the races and maybe you
will be in the winners enclosure before the evening’s over.
