We would ask all our supporters to support these businesses in 2010. I have also to mention three fantastic members of the fundraising committee , Chairman of this Committe Mr Anthony Dempsey , Carraigaline , Our own County Chairman Mr Brian Enright and also another very hard working committee member Mr Conor O Brien Eire Og – these three men are the soul of fundraising in the county their enthusiasm to undertake what is such a hard task of raising badly needed finances for the County Board is to be admired. But this is not the end of their fundraising for this team – they have a new Monster Draw 2011 with fantastic prizes on offer – details will be available on this web site when I receive them – as said all monies raised go to supporting financially our county teams & already this year in all matches played our intercounty players are producing the results on the field of play so all Euros raised are put to good use.
