Down supporters club boost
County Board training fund by £10,000

The Down GAA Supporters club handed over a cheque for £10,000 to the Down County Board’s 2008 training fund. The money was raised through membership, bus trips, donations, draws, programme sales and advertising space in Down’s home national football league programmes.

The money raised will help to assist with the promotion of the G.A.A throughout the County at all levels and it brings the total contributed by the Supporters Club to the training fund since 2002 to £47,000. The supporters club would like to thank all the programme sponsors and the members of the club for their continued support and commitment over the years.

The supporters club are presently organizing a raffle to which all of Down’s supporters are asked to contribute. Tickets are now on sale from any committee member at £2.00 per ticket. In total, there are twenty prizes. The 1st prize will be a weekend for two in Dublin.

The supporters club would like to congratulate Down Senior Footballers on winning the Dr McKenna Cup and the U21 squad for claiming the Ulster title. Good luck to the footballers and hurlers in the upcoming championship games.
