March 14th, 2023

We are delighted to be collaborating with the Curragh Racecourse and are really looking forward to week 25th March. Kildare GAA will have a Skills Zone next to the grandstand so young and old can try their hand at both codes and test their skills.

Of course, the main highlight of the day is where the Curragh Racecourse are matching each horse in the Irish Lincolnshire race with a club which will see the winning steed capture €7,000 for their club and the draw will take place on KFM on Thursday morning 23rd March on Eoin Beatty’s programme. We would encourage as many children and adults to wear their club colours to support your horse running that day and to add to the occasion as well.

We would kindly ask clubs involved to keep promoting along your communication lines and hopefully in turn will generate some well-earned funds for your club. Please find attached latest media coverage from this week:

Wishing all clubs, the best luck with your fundraising.
