Championship challenge starts tonight.

With the leinster championship kicking off this evening & Munster tomorrow all eyes of those who have entered our challenge will be on the results, scorers and different permutations tonight and for the next 9 weekends as the leader board (which will be published on our website and social media platforms every Monday evening) will no doubt change regularly.

And a lot of eyes will be on this, our first annual championship challenge and all in all the sum total of 614 people have taken on the challenge that has everyone talking, comparing notes and watching the action and each other closely. Indeed the competition off the field will be as keen as on the field this summer.

Thanks to the organising committee of Mike Cleary (Boulick) William Coleman, Adrian Maher, Enda McCarthy (who excellently set it up online) Fionn Cleary and Johnny Collins.

The fact that Copymoore have covered printing costs means that when the prize fund (€850) is paid out we will record a profit of €5290.00 for this simple idea.

This will be hugely beneficial to helping with the running cost of the club for the year.

A big thank you goes to all our Intermediate and Junior players who sold plenty of cards and especially to our sellers around the parish over the last 6 weeks of which there were many.

lastly a special mention to Adrian Maher & Mike Cleary (Boulick) & Adrian Maher who came with the idea and St Martins hurling club who guided us in setting it up.
