who have connections with Glinsk, established the foundation, which provides
support for patients with childhood and teenage leukaemia. Local Garda Tom
Cunningham was the principle organiser of the event and a substantial amount of
money was raised thanks to the generosity of those who attended the event. It
was a game of two halves. Glinsk were convincing winners. Thanks to all who
supported the event and Garvey’s for providing refreshments after the game.
Next weekend the lotto will be promoted by Padraig Grogan and

sponsorship of the refreshments for the recent underage presentation.
