Kicking for Kidneys:

The Club are once again hosting a Benefit match this year. For 2014 the club will host the "Kicking for Kidneys" benefit match in aid of the Sligo Dialysis patient comfort fund. Each Player will pay €20 to the cause and spectators will be asked to donate. The match will be held on the new St. Brendan's Park in Corballa on Saturday 27th December at 1.30pm. Refreshments will be served in the community centre afterwards and a great afternoon is guaranteed. The victorious U-12 Hurling team will receive their medals on the day. Registration will start at 12pm. Last year's managers Tony Carrabine and Tommy Holmes are once again going to do battle! Please contact Frank Barrett 0857257695 or Patrick Cleary 0876524978 to get involved. That evening the club's Annual Awards and celebration night takes place in Muddy Burns. The club are extending a welcome to everyone to come along and join in the fun.
