NATIONAL GAA CLUB DRAW
National GAA Club Draw tickets are presently on sale from all St Fintan’s adult team players. Tickets are €10 and all proceeds stay with the club. This is a very important fundraiser for our adult teams for the coming season as all other traditional fundraising avenues are curtailed due to the present Covid crisis.
Prizes include a new Renault Clio and €2,000 cash, as well as shopping vouchers and various other cash prizes and all-Ireland packages. Just make contact with any of our players to purchase your ticket.
As ever your support is very much appreciated and we all look forward to the day where we will once again line the sidelines cheering on our players in the green and yellow.
