FRIENDS OF TIPPERARY FOOTBALL HOSTS SUCCESSFUL DRAW NIGHT

A delightful evening was held at the Annacarthy Community Centre as the Friends of Tipperary Football hosted a successful draw night on Wednesday December 18 featuring a heifer and calf kindly sponsored by Con Quinn. The event, masterfully led by MC Anthony Shelley, welcomed guests and marked the occasion with a speech from Martin Dwyer, the newly elected chairman of the Friends of Tipperary Football.

The draw itself was an exciting affair, with Con Quinn spinning the draw drum while Brian Fox pulled the winning tickets. Special thanks were extended to C-Saw for providing the gazebo throughout the months and to St. Michael’s for the drum. In closing, Anthony expressed his gratitude to everyone involved and offered a strong endorsement of Con Quinn’s generosity. He emphasized the significant positive impact that the proceeds from the event would have on underage football in Tipperary.
