The WDSL Fundraiser ‘The Kube’ took place in the Parkview Hotel last Saturday night. We have two participants namely John Dunleavy and Stephen Nolan taking part trying to win the top prize of €1,000. The lads did well with Stephen making it to the final four but he had to settle for the runners-up position as Paul Lennon from the Wicklow Advertiser took the top prize. On what was an excellent night plenty of Newtown natives and people with the ‘Ben connections’ took the Kube on for various clubs and organisations and they were Hannah Martin, Lorraine Nolan, Ger Kelly, Paddy Kelly, Aaron Hackett, Shane Synnott, Mick Synnott and Declan Carthy. Hannah won the top raffle prize of two tickets to the Electric Picnic. Well done everyone in what was a very enjoyable night. Newtown Juniors FC would like to thank everyone who sponsored, bought tickets and supported the participants on the night. It was greatly appreciated by everyone in the club.
