As a voluntary organisation, both clubs depend on the generosity of its supporters, friends and gaelic games enthusiasts to help make ends meet. With a cross over of players on both clubs, Meelin and Rockchapel are striving to provide best facilities for players and promoting the enjoyment and appreciation of the games in a safe yet competitive environment.

“As part of a fundraising campaign both clubs have come together for a Night at the Dogs and we earnestly request the financial help of outlets to provide an advertisement on the Race programme on the night or purchase a ticket for the Tralee staging,” they said.

IA “Painting Competition” is being held in Meelin, Rockchapel and Knockaclarig Schools and all entries will be displayed at the Greyhound Stadium on the Fundraising night. Prizes will be awarded to each individual school.
