Allenwood GFC - A New Journey For Young Comrades - Be Part Of It
overview
Our second ever voyage into Leinster and our first time in the Leinster Intermediate Championship ended in great success as we became Leinster champions, a historic day for our club. We now march on to an All Ireland semi-final on Saturday, January 6th at 1pm in Navan against Armagh and Ulster champions, St. Patrick's Cullyhanna.
This team has given us immense enjoyment throughout what has already been an unbelievable year for our club. No stone has been left unturned in their preparations. The relentless commitment of the entire team and management setup is to be highly commended. Success does come at a cost, however. While costs are prudently managed by our Executive Committee, and we have been extremely lucky to have such generous sponsors, the extended playing season and games in venues outside the county have caused costs to increse in 2023.
With this in mind, we now want to give an opportunity to our ordinary members to get behind the team financially and donate to our fundraising campaign. All monies raised will go directly to the team to help defray the additional costs that are being incurred.
Your support is greatly appreciated by the team, the management and the Executive Committee of Allenwood GFC.
This is our time, our journey - Be Part Of It!
where your money goes
All money raised goes towards covering the additional costs we have incurred with the extension of our season right into January 2024. Further costs will hopefully also arise if we can progress to an All Ireland final on January 14th!
