This St. Stephen’s day the Claregalway Football Club are hosting a charity fundraiser to support he ‘Sineád McGovern healing Stage 4 cancer’ fund and breast cancer research. This is an ideal opportunity to get out of the house and get involved in a community effort as well as see the stars of Claregalway’s 2002 Intermediate Championship winning team including Gary Hurney, Franny Forde, Declan O’Brien and Barry Cullinane along with some celebrity appearance, face the youth of 2017 winning team including stars like Danny Cummins, Sean Moran and Barry Goldrick.

It will also be an opportunity to witness contrasting styles of management with Roddy Grealish overseeing the performance of the 2002 team and Paul Kilgannon patrolling the line for the 2017 team.

The community has come together to support Sineád, her husband Glen Hynes and daughter Ella in Sineád’s ongoing battle to beat cancer. The McGovern and Hynes families are steeped in both Claregalway and Carnmore GAA and St. Stephen’s day will be another opportunity to come out and show your support.

The game will be played in Claregalway pitch Lakeview at 3pm.

For any other information on Sineád’s ongoing treatment or to make a donation to the fund please see the ‘Support Sineád McGovern Healing Stage 4 Cancer’ Facebook page.  This will be  a great afternoon’s entertainment so please make every effort to get there.,
