Drumcliffe/Rosses Point GAA Club
Hosts Zero2Hero Event
The senior footballers of Drumcliffe/Rosses Point GAA Club will swap their football
boots and gloves for microphones and auction hammers this Thursday evening
(Nov 30th)when they host a unique club event which will take place in the
Radisson Blue Hotel at 7pm.
Zero2Hero will provide a lively evening of entertainment, featuring top class GAA
discussion and interviews with a range of well-known GAA personalities.
Special guests on the night will include Galway footballer Shane Walsh who has
just returned from the Irish International Rules series down under; Mayo senior
ladies football captain and 2017 All-Star recipient Sarah Tierney; Former Donegal
All-Ireland winning manager Brian McEniff and Monaghan’s rising football star Jack
McCarron. The Yeats County will be well represented too with former Sligo All-Star
and current Tourlestrane manager Eamonn O’Hara, alongside Drumcliffe/Rosses
Point and Sligo senior football captain Neil Ewing. BBC freelance broadcaster and
local clubman Austin O’Callaghan will be putting the questions to the guests - with
some help from the audience!
There will also be an opportunity for our younger audience members to meet the
stars personally and to get autographs signed and selfies taken.
“The chat will then be followed by a fundraising auction with a difference,” explains
Niall Canning who’s one of the #Zero2Hero event organisers - and who will be in
control of the auctioneer’s ‘hammer’ on the night.
“Every member of our senior football panel has donated prizes for the auction on
the night. The lads have really pulled out all the stops and have assembled a
terrific range of prizes and goodies to suit all ages and interests.”
From city breaks to sporting events and memberships, to solving your winter fuel
needs for the festive season, there’ll be something on the night for everybody.
As well as the on-stage entertainment, the evening will also provide useful
information to other local sporting and community groups, courtesy of Sligo
Leader Partnership Ltd, on forthcoming funding opportunities coming down the
track in 2018.
The organisers of Zero2Hero are very grateful to event sponsors Clifford Electrical,
Bank of Ireland, Dean Hall Tree Services and AVA Systems for their support.
Admission to Zero2Hero on Thursday evening costs just €10 and includes entry
into a special draw for a special ‘festive’ door prize. The evening is scheduled to
begin at 7pm.
