The club would like to thank all our subscribers and promoters who helped to make this draw such a phenomenal success. The tickets were completely sold out within two weeks and the club regrets that many of our supporters were unable to purchase a ticket because demand far outstripped the supply. Thanks to Damien Mulcahy of Mulcahy’s Garage Ardcroney who supplied the car, Mary and Pat Lynch and the staff of the Western Pass for their hospitality on the night and to Garda Brendan Carey and Garda Stuart Beattie who drew the tickets and supervised the draw.
