WILLIE FLYNN MEMORIAL GOLF CLASSIC
Rockwell Rovers GAA Club is holding a Golf Classic in Dundrum Golf Club, Co. Tipperary this 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. The sudden and untimely passing of Willie touched everyone who knew him, and we are looking to you for help in remembering a true gentleman not just this year but into the future with the annual event. In addition to the golf classic, we will be running an auction at our prize winner’s presentation night on 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. Also raffle tickets are €5 for 3 lines, prizes include Lunch for two, Cashel Palace, two All Ireland tickets plus more on the night. Raffle lines are on sale at “The Shop”, New Inn.
