Night at the Dogs Benefit l

All roads led to the Dundalk Stadium for the Clontibret O’Neill’s GAA Night at the Dogs Benefit last Saturday night. After weeks of preparation and hard work, a successful and enjoyable night was had by the large attendance of the Clontibret faithful, even though a few of the punters left most of their wallet contents behind them!! But some lucky punter was able to get home safely from the event with the aid of the star prize on the night – a donkey!! 

The night itself would not have taken place without the help and support from the local community and all the local businesses, especially the main sponsors Aidan Woods Fuel and McQuaid Quarries and the following race sponsors Thomas McGuigan Furniture, McGuigan Builders, Braeside Stores, Cooltrim Oil, CrowleysDFK, The Squealing Pig, James Cassidy, Lectros, Brendan Murphy, Greenan Stairs, Shane Magennis Carpentry, Gormley PVC, Cathal and Jeff Carragher, Westenera Arms Hotel, Monaghan Electric, E.C. Construction, Brennan Carpets, Shamrock Bar. 

The sponsorship was complimented with additional donations from many more businesses throughout the community and beyond. The many tickets sellers have to be thanked that annoyed anyone and everyone for the last six weeks in making sure that as many tickets were sold as possible. A raffle was held on the night with plenty of good prizes on offer raging from the star prize of a donkey, donated by Sean Mone, to the many signed jerseys and vouchers. The winner of the €1,000 draw was Paul Mulhiell, from Offaly, the winning ticket being sold by Niall Magennis.
