“Due to the unprecedented year we’re living through our fundraising has had to be altered to accommodate restrictions,” that’s the opening line of an appeal from Aileen Lynch on behalf of the Castleisland Desmonds Ladies Football Club.
The club, which embraces this and neighbouring parishes, reached a high in the heel of the 2014 season when the Lorraine Scanlon led team won the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Championship title.
I Lár An Aonaigh
Now the club members are taking their fundraising efforts i lár an aonaigh and have re-opened Shanahan’s / Mary Geaney’s shop on Main Street as their focal point.
“We’re hosting an online raffle this year to raise funds to ensure the running of the Castleisland Desmonds Ladies Football Club,” said Aileen.
“The people we asked were extremely generous in providing prizes which we will raffle, live on Sunday, December 20th.
Gerdie – Line-Selling Specialist
“The prizes are on display in Mary Geaney ‘s window uptown,” said Aileen from her Lower Main Street perspective.
“We have some shops selling traditional lines and Gerard Murphy is selling them on his lunch times from 1 to 2pm but we have also embraced the online element and we’re going through Eventbrite,” said Aileen.
