Timber & Fodder Auction and Sale of Work: Congratulations to all involved in the Auction and Sale of Work at the Clubhouse on Sunday afternoon which was an outstanding success with around 100 lots of timber, turf, fodder and other items. Particular thanks to Tadhg Nevin, Trevor Hogan, Graham Houlihan and Donal Kennedy who pushed the event superbly well with all money raised going toward on-field activities in 2012.
Thanks to all who donated trees, turf, feed as well as those who supported the event by purchasing lots as well as our two auctioneers Willie Rigney and Donie O’Meara who ensured the auction moved along at a brisk pace.
