The camogie, ladies football, juvenile and adult club all contributed to the collection of €1647 for charity during Christmas.

On St. Stephen’s Day, we ran the 5k Turkey Trot, which raised almost €800.  The following day, the adult and juvenile clubs both ran separate poc fada events on the roads to the north of Carrig, bringing in a combined total in excess of €800.

Adult club treasurer, Paddy Vaughan presented the cheque to Clare Coomey of the local Meals on Wheels in the clubhouse on Saturday, 8th January.  Clare sincerely thanked the club for the monies, saying that all donations were greatly appreciated, given that there had been no public collections for a long time due to the pandemic.

Meals on Wheels provides hot meals three times a week to up to twenty vulnerable people in the Carrigtwohill area.  The club was delighted to donate the proceeds of the recent charity events to such a worthy cause and a vital community resource.

Míle buíochas to all those people who took part in and donated to the events. Sincere thanks also to the volunteers who helped organise and run the Turkey Trot and both poc fadas.
