Hurlers Co Op Draw 2018: The Hurlers Co-op draw was launched at the April meeting of the County Board by former Kilkenny Hurler Eddie Keher. The draw which is entering its thirty seventh year provides all Clubs and the County Board with a valuable income stream year-on-year. This year the prize fund is almost €110,000 which will be returned to support the facilities and development programs within the county. The cost per ticket is €50 which equates to €10 per draw; this provides excellent value for money to the customer. Over the past ten years a total of €4.5million has been gathered in income, over half has been returned to clubs. Our usual sellers will be contacting previous and hopefully new buyers over the coming weeks as we endeavor to surpass our sales of recent years.
Féile Fundraiser: There will be a cabaret in the Cosy Bar on Sunday 6th May to raise funds for the boys heading off to the Féile. This is a great achievement by the lads to qualify for the finals so we hope everyone will get behind them and make this a really successful fundraiser for them.
