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. Martin expressed heartfelt gratitude to all attendees, as well as those who sold and purchased tickets to support the initiative. Sandra English, the Public Relations Officer, took a moment to reflect on the history of the Friends of Tipperary Football, praising the dedicated committee members for their relentless efforts. In a touching acknowledgement, she quoted, “Behind every great man is a great woman,” paying tribute to the unwavering support of Con Quinn’s wife, Trish. The evening featured an engaging discussion between Anthony and Philly Ryan, the newly appointed Senior Tipperary football manager. Ryan reminisced about the evolution of the sport since his playing days and shared his excitement about working with the fresh squad he has put together. 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.
