ABP sponsored Ferrybank GAA Weekly Notes

BENEFIT NIGHT:

Our annual benefit night, which was scheduled to take place last November, has now been re-scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 5th at Kilcohan Park.

Tickets for the night cost €10, and are now currently available from the following people. Declan Howard 087-9393818, Iona Heffernan 085-1154205, Colin Molloy Butchers Ferrybank, Lotto shop Ferrybank, Mandarin Palace Bar & Restaurant, Coffee by King ( Ferrybank GAA grounds, opened Saturday & Sunday, 9am-1pm).

All tickets sold by the club will see the money retained by us, which will go towards our day-to-day costs, and more importantly, help us to re-start projects we had hoped to do until the pandemic arrived.

Also, you can nominate a dog on the night, and if your dog is successful in winning a race, you will win €30. Nominations will cost €10, and can be obtained from Robbie Carew 085 207 4288. So, pencil this date into the diary and we look forward to seeing everyone there.
