Tractor Fundraiser Update
A brief update on our tractor fundraiser. We are just below at 70% of our target. At this rate, the tractor draw will most likely happen in early June.
Thanks to all club members for supporting this massive fundraising campaign. Remember, if it ain’t red, leave it in the shed!
The Longest Road !
Beyond sport, the GAA is a linchpin in the wider community. The philanthropic nature of the club came to the fore in recent days when club chair, Eric O’Neill, presented St. Joseph’s Hospital in Castletownbere with a cheque for €6,250. Thanks to all club members who participated in our “walk” and to all who contributed generously to this endeavour.

Beginning at 6am and over the proceeding 24 hours Garnish players, former players and management will do an hour of exercise each at Cahermore Pitch.

We ask the people of the wider community to get behind the team by completing an hour of exercise themselves , posting on social media, tagging Garnish G.A.A. and using the #thelongestroad.
