CIARA LAWLOR MEMORIAL 5K
Well done to everybody that got involved in today's 'Run with Ciara' . Your efforts raised almost €2k to contribute to the Ciara Lawlor Memorial fundraiser for Ataxia Foundation Ireland. The run also produced a healthy competitive edge too with midfield maestro Jack Nolan coming in first. It was great to see some of our Juvenile players putting it up to the senior players too with some even bettering them!!. Something that might have raised an eyebrow our two of management!!! Thanks to the lads from Thomastown GAA Club joining us too and to all who got involved. Great morning...well done all.
