WILLIE FLYNN MEMORIAL GOLF CLASSIC
Rockwell Rovers GAA Club is holding a Golf Classic in Dundrum Golf Club, Co. Tipperary on Friday July 8 & Saturday July 9. This year sparks a monumental moment with our Golf Classic as we remember Willie Flynn RIP, one of Rockwell Rovers great clubmen. The launch of this event is in recognition of Willie who not alone was a great within Rockwell Rovers but also within the New Inn community.

In addition to the golf classic, we will be running an auction at our prize winner’s presentation night Saturday July 9 in Barrons pub, New Inn with all proceeds going to Cancer Research Ireland and your support in any way possible would be greatly appreciated especially if you would consider one of the following: Entering a team for €150, Sponsoring a tee box for €50 or Sponsoring a Green for €100.

BEST OF LUCK
to our Senior footballers who are in the Shane Hennessy Agri Advisor West Senior Football final in Annacarty this Thursday June 30 at 7.30pm against Arravale Rovers. Match must finish on the night. Rockwell Rovers, are through to their first West Senior Football Final since 1979, having disposed of Aherlow in the semi final at Bansha last Saturday evening. Rockwell Rovers are yet to feature on the West Senior Football Roll of Honour, although they lifted the O’Carroll Cup in 1980 when amalgamated with Golden Kilfeacle under the banner Golden/Rockwell. The management and players deserve your support, so come on the blue & white, Rockwell Rovers Abu !
BEST OF LUCK
