Our sincere thanks to everybody who supported the raffle to cover Nicola O’Donovan’s travelling and accommodation expenses in Perth, Western Australia, where she will be representing the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup at the end of September.

The raffle was held on Saturday, September 3rd., at Forde’s Bar in the city where the Cork ladies’ team had a pre-season ‘Friendly’ on the same night against a visiting team from the Confey GAA Club in Leixlip, Co. Kildare.
 

The Cork girls won the match and the ‘sing-song’ ended in a draw.
